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!

 

the mechanic (paul) apparently worked for scoobybits before...a friend of mine at work has used him and said hes really good and well priced too. Im thinking of going down for a service myself

 

same paul scoobybits sacked?

 

no idea mate, i never used them, just what iv been told

 

furry muff. if it is the same paul and im pretty sure, he is a good guy, and a brilliant technician. dunno what the sceneario was with scoobybits, but talking to jase one day a while back he just remarked he'd "had to let him go". for whatever reasons, i dunno.

 

ive just bought a bonnett off paul.great price and great service.will be taking all my subaru work to sheffield subaru service

 

the carbon fibre one per chance?

 

no it was a white facelift one.cheaper than all the other local places and the right colour too i went to the open day last saturday and there were at least 30 scoobys there.looks like a popular garage

 

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!

 

good valid points. i found him to be a good laugh actually, and friendly.

if/when im back in a scoob, being in scun.thorpe, they may have my business too.

 

Thats the one "had to let hime go" is a very polite way to put it andy and i will not go into it,a pattern forms however( Montys/APP..hmm )

However if anyone needs info on service work in the south yorkshire area there are plenty to choose from;

Scoobyclinic no1 choice and worth the journey 01246 590807
Sub city @ thurcroft
JCT for parts and cars sales Rotehham 07850 476777
Dr Scooby/AC Motorsport near b+q Rotherham,( well respected engine/rally car builder does all works) Andy 07958 001031
I also know there is a garage in Rotherham trained mechanic,genuine parts etc MOT bay etc Mick 0776 5952597
New Subaru franchise opening near where Bentleys used to be very soon top guys there doing Merc/Porsche etc stuff at the mo.

Do your homework people.
I would always advise people to proceed with caution money hard earnt easy spent.

 

he is a top draw mechanic buddy,subaru trained and a rather nice bloke

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

 

im going with paul too jase is right there are plenty of places to go.how come scoobybits moved to the other end of england?

 

WTF - scoobybits has moved?? how did i miss that?

when did you relocate jase?

 

Believe me if ya seen where i am now you would have swapped too!

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.

 

sounds spot on

hope it all works out for you

i'll try and be a bit more observant next time as i was going to ring you up in a bit and book the car again
would have looked a bit of a tool turning up at rotherham

 

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

 

hi everyone this is paul ex montys tech,now sheffield subaru service,kept quiet for some time now ,but need to defend myself.i know my product ,certificates to prove and 15 years service under my belt.i did work for scooby bits and believe me i was not let go for my work capabilities,jason was moving i decided to set up on my own and gave ample notice to clear all customers cars before i left,(speak to kev at clinic)jason took it upon himself to order me to leave after finding out i had purchased some tools that he had 18 months to buy from my 2 ex work mates from bentleys.i wish jason all the best down there ,and was more than unhappy to part like we did, but not my choice.give me a try am sure you all have your own minds.

 

No point getting into this on here and and i confirm it was not the work or ability to do so that led to your dismissal. The tooling was the final straw as you know.Trust was the issue. All the best out there hope you can make it pay with rent/taxes and all the rest which becomes payable when you are a "trader" (and as such you need to subscribe to post on here if it promotes you as a trader or your business etc and then you become an"authorised" poster., email the mods/webmaster for info, another bill eh?
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.

 

When to the open day.

Met paul and his mrs.

Both made us feel very welcome.

Fitted me a crystal fog light in mint condition for 20 quid. :-)

Will be getting my business

 

So this all comes down to Jeff & Deans select monitor, eh?

 

scooby tech/paul, whereabouts are you in Sheffield would like to come and see you, getting ready for a service and need some advice, do you have a web site etc.

Cheers and all the best for the future
Mark

 

Sheffield Subaru Service
thanks for your interest

 

You do know that you're supposed to be an authorised advertiser?

 

Err nope.
And there it ends

 

 

I have been today, and I have to say I was very impressed with the setup and the service, I will definatly be spending my hard earned with Paul again in the future, and I dont just go anywhere for servicing im very cautious when it come to my cars

HTH

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.
