Thumbs up SCOOBY CLINIC!

Went there for the first time today, what a pain in the **** to find! Whats the no entry sign all about?

Apart from that, what a place to take your scoob!

All the staff were friendly and very keen to help! they dont bull**** you, they just give honest advice and back it up with good prices!

While my cambelt and general checkover were being done i was shown round the whole place, shown the 2008 time attack gc8, and watched a scoob being mapped!

Then i saw my beloved scoob on the ramps with two guys checking it over, and the only faults to report were rocker cover gaskets and a power steering leak. I was expecting more than that!

All in all i would recommend the place to anyone, well worth the 80 mile round trip i took to get there. Im going back soon for the gaskets, leak, full decat and a remap!

My round trip is 180 miles. Practically live in the place due to track day wear and tear. They always manage to help me out at short notice when I'm in trouble.

Which reminds me..... I really need to get around to going back there and booking up a service, MOT, exhaust, headers, remap and all the other stuff that I 'need' the clinic to do

I'd better start investigating my bank balance

I know, i spotted loads of stuff i wanted, there was even a GC8 with a 2.5 in it for sale, lucky i didnt take my documents and credit card or i might have been coming home in a new car!

Im going back next payday to blow most of my wages!!

There was a portuguese fella there at the same time as me, we got talking in that v small shed, sorry, waiting room, and he was on his 3rd engine in 12 months!
By his own admission he hammered his car everywhere, ran it on 95 ron and never warmed up and cooled down properly

Then i told him ive had my scoob 14 months and its never missed a beat, and he nearly cried! Funny!

No,. he was one of those guys who have "mates" who can do everything!

He told me the first was from a garage his "mates" recommended,
His second was done at a home garage by two "mates"
His third was from a scoob specialist in his area(he lived an hour away from the clinic), which was ok apart from some dodgy wiring that the clinic were sorting!

sorry if my post made it look like the engines were from you guys, it sounded better in my head!

No sympathy for him I'm afriad. If you treat the car like s*it, expect the same back!

As for garages, get it down by the experts like SC, pay once!
