In the past I've used Keith Price and API both gave me good service but I now use Ace Motorsport in Newbridge. My advise is to use one that you trust and stick with them if possible.
Oh and Dylan seems to know his way around an impreza if he's offering his services

Cheers guys, the reason I ask is because I made a bit of a school boy error when buying the car. It wasn't got the best service history. The garage did an oil change and check it all over (well so they said). Its not due a service until September. I want to get it done for piece of mind. So Ill the places you have recommended and get some advice.

Cheers Mark

Where abouts are you based Foz? If you can't get hold of Ace Motorsport, there's a place in Penarth called Pat Jerome Car Care, he does a bit of rallying and I've used him a few times for oil changes etc

Cheers Merv

I live in north cardiff, well Rhiwbina. Was going to try Ace motorsports. Hopefully pop up there Friday. Does anyone know where it is in Newbridge? Does say High Street but looks a bit residential on google street view.

Thanks Mark

Well that didnt go very well. Tried to phone Ace, some woman answered and didnt have a clue about Ace. So decided to just drive up there. Couldn't find it to save my life. Is the company still around? Found Chris Bowen, went in there. No one was there, wait for about 5 mins then gave up. I will try ringing Rhys tomorrow.

The number is 07772033892 - I've been calling all week and have had no luck.

In Chris Bowen's you have to knock on the glass window between the reception area and the workshop.

Ace used to be underneath the Chris Bowen workshop, but have moved up.

I'll be going up on Saturday morning.

Hope this helps.

Andy.

I have a big garage and the ability to do this stuff. If it's just a 6 month oil change, all you need to get is the oil and filter.

The offer comes with free tea
