What sort of reports have you heard about ABP Steve? I used them for a geom setup a few months ago and they seemed knowledgeable and competent. Was thinking of using them for servicing the car as its now out of warrenty. Interested to hear your views, either here or offline if you prefer.

Cheers

Hi dave
i had a mate who had a saxo which ABP did some work on and he didnt seem too impressed. He also said they had not been doing scoobies long. Im not saying they are a bad company but i not heard much about their scooby side it all seems to be saxos. I may give them a bell as they are closer than tsl where i used to go with my old scooby

I used to go warranders/RC but they've gone now,

Jap imports at middlewich good for most things too.

What sort of stuff are you after?

I've recentley had a 45K service done on MY00 + a few other bits... And was really impressed with there service and the way the car was treated ( my 18's especailly... no marks on them....Phew!!! I was worried about them cause they cost me ££££ and are still like new! )... no faults with ABP Motorsport at all...! I'd recommend them...

Try Castle Performance (on the A34 - Newcastle), I used them many times a few years ago when I had an RS Turbo, they were excellent. They may now deal with Subaru's, I'm sure Ive seen Mark (one of their Technicians) driving a scoob.

Thumbs down

ABP = STAY AWAY!!!

very bad experience, much lighter in the pocket due to there incompetence...

when you have a problem with them, they dont wanna know.

RC, not too impressed with.

Have heard good reports about TSL & Scoobyclinic.
