Default New Owner looking for Specialist in Cambs

Hi,

After a couple of 911's and an Integrale Evo before that I've just switched to a Silver 06 WRX (Type UK) which is due a 30k service, I'm not having much luck finding an independent specialist in my area (Cambridge / Peterborough) Does anyone know of one?

Loving the car, I've only done 130 miles in it, just great fun (and I can get the kids in the back) Hope to be a contributor to the forum as I become familiar with the car

Many Thanks
Mike

I'm near Peterborough and the only specialists worth using are ZEN in Wellingborough and Tracktive or Carnetix in Melton Mowbray (they use the same workshop). It's a bit of a trek, but will save money (especially the 30k as it's a biggie) and get the job well done.

Mine's in for its 30k at Carnetix next month.

Thanks Mark

Wellingborough isn't far from me, I'm just outside Huntingdon so a quick dash across the A14, perfect, I'll give them a call.

Spoke to Carnetix, they'll get my business, excellent attitude, gave me plenty of time on the phone answering a load of newbie questions.

Good choice. I've found Becky at Carnetix very helpful, honest and friendly so far.

ZEN has an A1 reputation for their work, but I never felt as comfortable there.

Only Carnetix are allowed to fettle with my Scoob, Glen and Becky really know their stuff and if you join the LJP (lincolnshire Japanese Performance) you'll save 10% on your labour. Check them out at www.clubljp.co.uk
