Lightbulb Recomended Garages North East England?

I have recently moved from my beloved home country down to the North east of England (near Darlington). I'm looking for a good garage to carry out a bit of work on the car, preferably somewhere that has a good knowledge of subaru but is reasonable on the wallet so not a dealership. Can anyone point me in the right direction an supply some details. Location, Contact No. and if possible hourly labour price? drop me a pm or post on here thanks.
Ally.

It has to be S G Petch in Richmond (near enough).
Contact details in link.

Subaru Impreza used cars from SG Petch

I would use Jennings in Middlesbrough as a second choice.
Would avoid GMD in Durham (do a search on them)

John Pye Motors, Bishop Auckland 01388 661107

They do all cars, but have a speciality with Imprezas as they run a couple of Impreza rally cars.

Labour is about £30/hr

There's an excellent garage in Middlesbrough called Falcon Performance. The guy there runs an immaculate place. There's always lots of high-performance metal in there getting fixed which is generally a good pointer.

Last time I had my Scoob in there it was sharing garage space with a Ferrari F355, an M5 and a TVR Tamora.

The quality of their work is brilliant but I wouldn't call it cheap
