Question

Just a quicky, do CVC service or supply parts for Jap imports? I have just purchased a WRX MY93 which has a full Jap and UK service history (two different UK main dealers, one from Southampton and one from London) and I obviously would like to keep the s/history up. If not anyone know the nearest Main dealer where I can have my car serviced?
Cheers in advance

CVC do not sell or service grey imports in common with all Subaru main dealers. This is due to the importer not the individual garages. You will need to find a good independent to service your car. I'm afraid I don't know of any in South Wales. If your car has been previously serviced by a franchised UK dealer then they are doing it unofficially and I wouldn't post their name as IM would not be amused.

I wish IM had the same enlightened thinking as Mitsubishi do.

Just noticed this www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=164832

Sounds to me as though they probably will service an import but dont want to publicise it.

Cheers for the reply, I wont name the dealers but I have their stamps in my service book and are defo genuine. Ah well, time to look for a specialist localish. I just saw this thread to, I will probably give them a try when the next service is due.
