Default Who to look after my Scooby?

I've recently moved to Potters Bar, Herts and would appreciate any advice anyone could give on good mechanics/garages in the area which would be capable of looking after my Prodrive '52 Bug Eye?

Cheers Guys

Will

Bit of a difficult one really. I'm in Finchley and just use a local garage for routine stuff.

However, when I needed a cambelt service and a gearbox repair I took it to APi in Warwick. A bit of a schlep but worth it - they really know their stuff.

If you do find anyone more local, let me know.

Just take it to any local garage thats been recommended by locals.. Impreza is nothing special doesnt need to go to a specialist.

I use Zen Performance in Wellingborough, so not a million miles from you.
Excellent service and they really know their stuff, also not particularly expensive.

Then why do so many garages say, oh, we don't work on those!' ?

Because they are run by bungling idiots!

The EJ20 is simpler to work on than most transverse engined straight 4 cars..
