Default Cambelt Change

Hi there,

New to Subaru ownership and also this forum.

Recently picked up a bugeye wagon.

Will be due a cambelt change soon so was wondering if there were any recommendations of who to take it to (or who not to take it to!) in the south wales/south west area?
What kind of price am I looking at and are there other wear items that are recommended to be changed at the same time?

Cheers

Chris

hi mate welcome to scoobynet if your having cam belt done it,s best to have your cam belt tensioner/ runners changed , any garage should do this as part of it but thats depending on who you take it too

it's not the cheapest to have the cam belt done as garages charge silly amounts I'm sure someone can let you of a good place to take it but personally i would never pay a garage to do any of my work on my car as they all charge to much as i use to work in one
