If it is warranty then the Main Dealer in your area is the one. CVC here in the 'diff but Keith Price in Abergavenny.

Independents will not be acknowledged by Subaru if anything goes wrong inside the warranty period. Yes, the law say's that a warranty is valid as long as OEM parts, makers procedures and VAT reg'd etc but they will squirm out.
So, sadly catch 22.

Paul at CVC is normally a good bloke they are now on Hadfield Rd in the old Audi Garage.

029 2022 21 00.

Keith Price have a good rep too

As for Keith Price I would'nt touch them with a bargepole.

I think you'll find that they may, just may have the occasional read of this forum as well

I wouldn't go near CVC with a large barge pole.....in fact I drove the tiresome round trip to Powerstation yesterday for my 50k service and MOT just to avoid them.

(plus I rate the guys at Powerstation, which makes it worth the trip and extra expense).

....and yes, they do read this forum and don't like bad press.
