15 miles is close. I'd travel 100 miles for someone who knows scoobs rather than use someone close for conveinence.. I travel 100 miles to have the car mapped by andy f, rather than a wannabe mapper 10 miles away who is half the price and will do half the job.. Use someone with scoob knowledge...

He knows his stuff
For me personaly, He has just rebuilt the heads on my 450-500hp classic for example.
Which is a pretty high end car in terms of the spec

Is Dave Hollamby still at Gatwick Subaru if so be assured he knows his stuff? Also you have Surrey Scooby specialists as mentioned earlier.
I drive from Littlehampton to Newhaven for work on mine so not sure what the complaints about 40 miles are!
Also get yourself on South East Scoobies for lots of local help
