Default SUBARU SPECIALISTS IN MK AREA
Does anybody know of a Subaru specialist in and around the MK area? I live in Leighton Buzzard so South of MK is also good.

I have the car booked into a main dealer for a 50,000 mile service (cam belt) at the min and the quote is pretty rediculous so I am looking for elsewhere to get it serviced and the only other place I will take it will be a specialist.

Grateful for any help.

Ben

Yes, call Steve at Northants Subaru. Used him for many years, always helpful and will not rip you off. Tell him I sent you. He'll be doing my cambelt soon too plus normal service at the same time. My mate also uses him with his 02 Prodrive STI.

Independent Subaru Garage Central location to: Milton Keynes. Northampton. Brackley. Buckingham. Silverstone. Towcester. Banbury.

Andy.

Thanks for the Recommendation, car is booked in there for Wednesday for service and rear shocks aswell, expensive business but it will b cheaper than a main dealer!

Yeah, that included everything; a 50,000 mile service and replacement of rear shocks. I'm not sure how much everything would of been at the main dealer but the service alone was gonna cost £480 whereas I paid £375 for that part !!!

I should imagine that there wouldn't be much change from £1000 if the main dealer had anything to do with it !!!

The Subaru Shocks are nearly £500 each what I was told so Steve has done you a very good price for the work he has carried out...

I'm off to see him in the morning for a coolant sensor replacement...

glad your happy with your scoob...
