Can anyone recommend a quality Subaru dealer / specialist in any of the above areas for servicing (based on personal experience)?

I want to put my Scoob in for a service shortly but don't really know who's good and who's crap in this area.

So far I've found:

Westaway motors - Spratton, Northants (Subaru dealer)
Northants Subaru
Souls Garages - Onley, Northants (though on v.old threads here it says to avoid, so not keen on this one)

I'm still looking though....

I don't mind driving as long as it aint hours away and you guys on here say its a quality, recommended specialist.

I looked at slowboy but its 1hour and 27mins from me

Cheers

Cheers guys

Yeah I know of Zen just don't know anyone who has used them as far as scoobies go, so they come highly recommended from experience?

Boldock sounds good ill check that out too.

Thanks

I couldn't get hold of Zen by phone or email and I wouldn't touch Peterborough Subaru with a ****ty stick

I wouldn’t have either Westaway motors or Souls Garages Onley stand next to my car, loads of good specialists in this area!

Zens is a good call, (BABS subaru club is local and could point you to a good local specialist)

Ok thanks, I'll steer clear of Westaway, Olney and Peterborough then lol

I'll check out Zen and give BABS a shout to see what who those guys use.

F1 CJE UK, do you know of any meets local to this area that are decent? I've checked out Scoobycity but quite a few of those are Norwich / Ipswich.

Cheers

I think they meet every week in MK and then do some shows during the year, Its not really my thing but I do join them on some of the larger meets as its much better to turn up in a convoy and park away from the general mix of cars.

Just to add my recommendation would have to be Roger Clark Motorsport, if your happy with a little drive.

Sorry, I should of read your opening post correctly, I mentioned slipend garage as it is in Bedfordshire but I can't say I would recommend them as have only used them once for parts as I do all the work on my car myself.
I'm a member of babs and some members should put you in the right direction

Thanks all for the recommendations / info

I checked out Roger Clark Motorsport and its just a tad shorter drive than Slowboy-Racing, so I might just drive down there or over to API in Warwickshire.

Shame Prodrive don't do services, they are just over to the west in Banbury!

I am sure you would be very happy with the service from RCM, top guys.

DON'T USE SLIP-END!

Patronising, unreliable and **** poor service - on a good day.

They didn't order the correct parts, didn't finish the job on time and regard any request as an imposition - *****.

Interesting to hear.

They've always been great for ordering parts and even deliver them to me sometimes when I don't fancy going for a blast to pick them up.

Shame to hear the service department isn't as good.
