Lincolnshire, which dealer for a service?
As per the title, ive had my STI hatch for a few weeks now and want to get the oil changed at 1,000 miles.
Dealers within a reasonable distance are:
Chandlers, Horncastle
NT Shaw, Louth
Chandlers, Grantham
St. Leger, Doncaster
Willougby Group, Nottingham
Europa, Sheffield
Beechdale, Derby
Conders, Peterborough
Heritage, Leicester
Pentagon, Ashbourne
RN Golden, Huddersfield
Mill Hill Garage, March
And of these I should avoid like the plague?
Any you would highly recommend, I want to use the same dealer for all my servicing.
Chandlers in Lincolnshire, being closest would be my first choice but they stopped selling new Subaru, and now sell Mitsubishi, although they are still franchised to service, repair and do warranty work on Subaru. NT Shaw are very new to Subaru, having only taken on the Lincolnshire new vehicle franchise in January this year, prefer a dealer with a bit of history looking after Subarus.
Your thoughts?

I called NT Shaw and they didn't really no much about the Impreza just yet being quite new to the marque. Really pricey too !

I'll probably get some stick for saying this, but I live near Lincoln and still take my car to Weataways near Northampton (I moved here from that area). If it's for the first 1k oil change then wouldn't the best advice surely be a main dealer? If you ever have any warranty issues, which is quite probable, then keeping in the main dealers good books can't be a bad thing.

I used to go to Chandlers Horncastle and never had any problems.
I now use Carnetix down in Melton Mowbry - bit of a drive but well worth it.
I have not had any experience of NT Shaw at Louth but they are new to Subaru and usually play about with Citroens - need I say more!?!

Chandlers Horncastle is looking favourite at the moment.
Thanks for everyone suggestions, Carnetix looks a popular choice once the mfg warranty expires, the warranty on the hatch is just too important to have IM reject a claim because I non Subaru dealer change the oil
