Default Subaru specialists in East London...?

...are there any decent ones? My 95 WRX wagon auto is making some very scary juddering noises from the transmission on full-lock, almost as if the diffs aren't working and it's getting itself all "wound-up". It needs some serious TLC. I know of Xtreme Scoobies out in Essex but getting there and back is a bit of a nightmare. Anybody know of any Subaru specialists around Hackney / Shoreditch / East London that will know what they're talking about? I fear it may be a bit more serious than the kind of thing my local garage under the railway arch can fix with a hammer and chisel. Ugh.

Cheers
Andy

Don't think Wilsons will touch it, as it's a (grey?) import.

Chose the right time of day and the run to Xtreme isn't too bad. M11/ M25 then onto the A12 at junction 28. Up the A12 to Boreham turn-off and its five minutes through the lanes. About 30 minutes in all.

wilsons of chadwell heath are great - I once used scoobytek in Romford - they were in the back of the place that sells spangly mini bits. They seemed knowledgeable but didn't fit my disks and pads correctly and I had to do them again.

scoobysport used to be excellent in basildon but I thought they weren't in business anymore...
