Question

Can anyone recommend a decent dealer who can do a 5,000 m service on a W reg Sti V RA in the Bucks/Berks area?

My usual dealer (Crowne Motors of Henley) is temporarily out of action, and my pride & joy needs a service soon to keep it in terms of the warranty.

Any suggestions most gratefuly received.

Thanks,

Julian

Question

You might want to try a company in Leighton Buzzard called ADI Motorsport (I think). A few of the EVO guys really recommend them (not sure if they do Scoobys), but worth a try.

Anil.

Sorry I don't happen to have the number, but they were advertising in either Banzai or Japanese performance in the last issue.

SGT in Taplow might be able to help (http://www.sgt.co.uk) - always have a few imports in the forecourt. Always do a good job on my UK spec...

You could try Hallmarks in Thatcham, near Newbury. I brought my import from there recently, but haven't had any services as yet. Other peeps on this board have recommended them though.
Find them at

Cool

I'll second Power Engineering. Fantastic set of guys, they've been at it for 25 years. First on Cosworths and now Scoobies. They are one of the most knowledgeable garages in the country for the Impreza. Go to them and your car is in safe hands..

Talking

Thanks everyone!

I am now booked into Power Engineering first to see what sort of a job they can do.They seemed to know what they were talking about and have a good Website.

SGT at Taplow say they don't service STi's, and Hallmarks didn't return my call.

But Risboro 4WD also sounds interesting, and I may have a look in sometime in the future.

Thanks again,

Julian

Dave at Risboro 4WD does all my work, his labour rate is half the dealers!! (about £30 an hour I believe)
