Default service and cambelt change??

Hi guys, rite im looking to get my car serviced and get the cambelt changed soon its a 06 sti jdm T-20, im located in pontypridd where would you guys recommend?? I'd like to take it to someone who knows what they are doing ect and wont sting me in the pocket like i imagine subaru will!!. Would rather be nearer to home also, rather than travel far. I have tried ringing (but with no answer) and have sent a message to indigo-gt with no reply yet not sure if they are open weekends? or are just simply very busy.

your help will be much appreciated

greg

Indigo GT just got voted best trader and tuner over on MLR, i'll be going to them when mines due.

I bought my STI blob from Swansea way and it has a lot of history from here

Another option is Chris or Andy in Newbridge called Ace Performance Cars the workshops number is 01495243254

I've had a few cam belt changes there over the years plus various other work done with Andy, my cars there at the moment for some work and a cam belt change

The other option would be 3 Arches in Cardiff I'm sure one of the other guys will post the contact details for you.

Keith price Subaru nr Abergavenny, always reasonably priced in my experience, and good technicians aswell. Im sure Jarvis had a good deal with his Cam belt not that long ago.

Three arches in Cardiff ( I think) have had some good reviews on here also, trooper and others have had work done.

Have a ring round , see how I get on.

My hawkeye is in the three arches at the moment having the head gasket and cylinder heads done. Top bunch of guys. A couple of the mechanics have their own subarus.
