Default Eden Subaru - Cupar

Paul,
I am also from Falkirk, but had no confidence in the guys at the local dealer, heard real bad reports about the quality of work done there. They also quoted me silly money for an oil change... £118!!!
I therefore faced the same dilemma as yourself, where to go for good service and get decent value for money. After some extensive research, I decided to try the new dealership in Cupar, as I wanted it done by Subaru to keep the warranty intact without any hassles.
It was nice to talk to guys in a dealership who are real enthusiasts in the cars that they sell and service...!
Had my MY04 WRX wagon serviced there on Tuesday and must say that "If you are looking for a place to get great customer service and one that you can trust to service your car "properly" this is the place.

I am a real stickler for ensuring that whoever works on my car can be trusted, and after talking to Russ and Peter, I knew my car was in safe hands. The salesmen not only sell cars, but are really knowledgable about them as well (they actually mechanic for rally teams) not often you see that!! One of the dealership mechanics actually works for a well known rally team who use Carlos Sainz' old WRC car!!
Need I say any more...!

Recommended!! and its only 40 miles up the road (on good roads!)

Thanks guys, I'll see you again soon.

Cheers,

Ginto.

May be a bit out of the way but www.glenburgie-subaru.co.uk is where i go. I bought my car from here and they really know their stuff. Also you may be able to pick up a few nice bits as theres normally some aftermarket parts lying about.
Hope you get sorted out bud.
