Default Another big Thankyou to the Three Arches Garage Cardiff

I've had great support from both Dean and Dan at the 3 Arches.

Car serviced, inspected, Undersealed. Dan spotted a potentially hazardous worn hub which had been stripped by a wheel bearing. All now sorted.

Thanks for all the transportation too, helping me back and fore work and home.

It's great to have someone on my doorstep to look after the Spec C.

If you don't know them, Dean and Dan are fully trained and experienced Subaru mechanics. They worked for CVC, Cardiff Subaru main dealers for many years and now have their own little setup within the 3 Arches Garage.
Dan started at CVC at the tender age of 16 to get a full apprenticeship which must be about 10 years ago. Dean i believe was one of CVC's head mechanics for the Imprezas. Both drive and modify their own scoobys. Dan at present is on a new engine build just running in with about 600miles on the clock.

Dan, correct me if i'm wrong.

Cheers

Andrew

I know i put my own thread about this, but have to agree again! The level of expertise and workmanship is exceptional! Now i just need to find a garage to fix the cosmetic damage

hi Niall

I saw your car on the ramp when i was there. I thought it was Dan's scooby. Nice unusual colour.

I also saw the inside of your gearbox. Ouch! It was properly chewed up on the gear.
Glad its all falleninto place and is now sorted, Dean knows his stuff.
