I normally go to Neil @ slowboy racing in forest hill great guy knows his stuff but it's a bit of a mission to get there . I would like to know if there is someone good nearby who is reasonable too.

If your on a budget the best option would be to DIY it, get hold of a good repair guide

I'd vote for Hughberry too

Been spot on with me for a lot of routine stuff and I'll be going back to get my tappets shimmed when I get the time.

They're up in Rickmansworth, VAT registered and Subaru trained. It's not a sterile main stealer set up, but they have all the kit, and what they save on the cost of the premises you save in your labour rates

Paul or Steve

^^^^ agreed

Mus - they're top guys and know what they're doing unlike some others, they're no garage like mocom or Zen etc but you get the club rate of £35 an hour for little jobs that need doing. I havent had any major work from them, but when i had my service done on wednesday Steve knew what he was doing and did everything in correct order and made sure no mess was made etc.
I would defo go back and would take tina's car there if work needed doing

I even dropped my car to them this morning to get the heat wrap put on and collected it when they were closing up (went thorpe park during the day) and that looks neatly done also and BOY has that made a difference. hes used 30 meters all on the downpipe IIRC he said he double wrapped it and put more on the upper section. Car feels great to drive and I have noticed drop in engine bay temp after giving it a good blast.

They did my cambelt, and when I got it back it was making a noise. Turns out it was the belt (continental) that just seemed to make a noise on newage cars. They changed it for a dayco one, so a second cambelt change, and it was all done under warranty.

Customer service is spot on, and I'll be going back for plenty of the awkward jobs that I can't be bothered doing
