I have decided to spend some money on my 2002 STI Prodrive but I need to know who is the best Subaru specialist in Scotland (Preferably close to Edinburgh)?

Couldnt say who is the best as I havnt tried them all, but I'm really happy with the service I get at Hypertech Untitled Document

If you are trying to get them, best just give them a phone, as I think they were having problems with their internet, so couldnt answer emails for a while.

They are based in Bonnybridge so you'd maybe go the M9

It depends what work you are talking about? Another thumbs up for Dunc at Hypertech . If you are going to be getting the car mapped then Andy Forrest is the man to speak to.

From Edinburgh it's only 2hrs drive down to Harvey Performance in Darlington. I used them to have my headers ported and a new turbo fitted before visiting Mr Forrest.

Extreme Motorsport in Whitburn are also very good.

Hypertech and AWD are both superb. Used them both in the past - and AndyF of course for any mapping.

Cheers for all the advice. I went to Hypertech today for a power run and to get my heads up display working. Very happy with the quality of service. Next is to get it mapped by Andy Forrest.

For me it's got to be AWD motorsport engineering in Perth, absolutely spot on, and run 700bhp subarus at Crail. Ring them on 01738633336, open 6 days a week to!!!! website AWD Motorsport Engineering for subaru, mitsubishi, nissan performance car modification, servicing, spare parts and helpful advice

To be honest it would depend how far you want to travel.
You wont go wrong with Duncan at Hypertech or Steve Whitson both very good.
For mapping as you have sussed it has to be Andy F

Best down this way if your willing to travel is Shennan Motorsport by a long way.
Paul preps rally cars etc, and I doubt there is a tuning company in the country who could beat him on price.

Shennan Motorsport will do you an engine rebuild. He was in the middle of 2 engines when I dropped my car off on Friday. Top guy is Paul
