If he is happy paying main dealer prices then Wilson's in Chadwell Heath is very close http://www.wilson-group.co.uk/franch...anchise=subaru otherwise Xtreme Scoobies are just outside Chelmsford (just a bit more than 20 miles) http://www.xtremescoobies.co.uk/

You also have ScoobyTEK in Basildon.

A little closer to Dagenham, straight down the A13.

Ive had mine serviced at Wilsons in Chadwell Heath since new and find their level of service very average. The work is done OK, but they do not go the extra mile, such as cleaning the car before returning. Pretty expensive too.

Last service that I had at Wilsons, car came out with a nice big dent in the bonnet!!!!!

Not saying that this is the norm, but it pi$$ed me off!!

read recently that one of the car cleaners at wilsons apparently used a brillo pad to clean a car when in for a service
the car needed a complete respray.
not the dealers fault but still.......

Wilsons are Ok, but they do love charging you for things they haven't done (Like filling the screen wash bottle when I did it the day before). They also send out a questionair asking how the service went and was the car cleaned before it was returned. They've never cleaned it! Now the warranties over, I wouldn't bother with them.

Oh, another point, if you drop your pride and joy off to them that you paid a fair bit of money for, they'll loan you a car........ A poxy 1.1 Polo
