Sheffield Subaru Service
I know its not been open too long but a mate of mine stumbled upon this place whilst on his work bound journeys and pointed it out to me. Has anyone had any dealings with them or any knowledge??
On face value appears to be a nice set up and already had a pretty decent quote on a service cost!The web site if you look it up shows the mechanic as a Subaru trained Tech!

It is the same guy who worked for Scoobybits, though Im sure their differences are their business and both parties hopefully proffesional enough to keep it that way.
Jase obviously hired him originally for some reason??
If he has the knowledge and the pride in his work along with decent prices I think I found my new local specialist!

I have always followed paul through his various positions to do the nessersary work on my cars(be it montys subaru/App etc)and will not hesitate to use him for the forseeable future
as jase states above,a few local specialists that are highly recommended,scoobybits/scoobyclinic etc
you pays the bills/you makes the choice
my choice is with paul
cheers marcus

Main reason tbh ..for the kids just nothing in Rotherham or area for my kids, better schools and activities down here, cheaper rent, bigger premises and ten beaches within ten minutes.
Bodyshop opens Monday.

You must be sick of the sight of your car on the Homepage! It must be the most widely-viewed Impreza in the country!

By the way you dont have to defend yourself its in the past and I for one am spending efforts on the future.My early comments in the post remain but I apologise if it sounds wrong, I was mearly pointing out that you are not the only one in the area doing what you do , sorry if I worded it wrong.

Followed Paul Kelly all the way from monty's through to APP then onto his own business SHEFFIELD SUBARU SERVICE and would not go to any other mechanic, for one he is a subaru trained technician with 15 years sevice, his customer service is second to none and will always give you advice and not just try to make a quick buck out of you.
I have personnaly dealed with paul for the last 3 years while owning my impreza, he has rebuilt my engine, gearbox, turbo inlet hose and various other parts and the work has always been spot on.
End of the day i think people will decide for themselves when and if they deal with paul.
As for the pattern of monty's, APP etc etc
Paul left monty's because he was poached by the Monty's service manager at the time to set up APP along with Martin.
Unfortunatly APP went under due to another department of APP not working out.
And this is why scoobybits ended up with a top class technician.

Cant believe the lengths some people go to try and damage someone else's business, from what i saw Paul Kelly was the main asset at Scoobybits, someone who acually new how to repair Subaru's correctly, and because he wants to better himself by setting up his own business he gets all this crap.
Paul is a fair honest guy of which there are very few. And no one who uses him will be disappointed guaranteed.

Look above your post and Jase clearly states he wasn't trying to **** paul up or anyone else for that reason. It comes across to me IMHO that your trolling
Used paul when at APP and already explained scoobyits moved to cornwall so good reason not to follow ive used paul and he helped me no end when my engine went so glasd someone a bit closer to home who ive used and trust.
