Default RE Motorsport, York

Does anyone have experience of RE Motorsprt in York?
The website looks impressive and from that it would appear that they know thier stuff.

Rick was a technician at Subaru main dealer Robert Bowetts in Leeds before starting RE Motorsport. He impressed me there with his personal interest and honesty. Since going solo I have nothing but praise for him. He has a genuine interest in the marque and is meticulous in his service.

My car is looked after by Rick too, very few people I would trust to leave my car with but he is one of them. All quality work at RE Motorsport, I couldn't recommend them enough to be honest, what Rick doesn't know about Subarus isn't worth knowing

Another vote for RE Motorsport, I first met Rick @ Bowett's in Leeds, and travel to York for the kind of back-up I would hope to get from an enthusiast.

Advice and a coffee always help too !

P.S. Last visit was Tuesday.

Definitely not Rick, not getting into the politics of it but their change of mind wasn't due to anything about the quality of work or products.

Rick has loads of duff engines, usually supplied by someone else, for him to have to fix !

Mine included !

Pulling it back on topic....

I don't think you'll find a better specialist up here in my opinion, as you can see, others think so too, give Rick a call and he'll be happy to talk about your requirements and the best (and reliable!) way to achieve it.

Another vote for rick, very good at his job.

Rick found a fault on my ABS brakes and mended it, were others failed,
