Default Independant service places in Yorkshire

Hi, I'm looking at selling my TVR and buying an 03/04 WRX. Looking for any advise as to reputable service places for this type of car in or around Leeds/Yorkshire area - talking independant here not main stealer as any car I buy will likely be out of warranty period pretty much.

Thanks Sy

Well hello Sir
frist of all welcome, A member has his car for sale an excellent 04 wrx unless he has sold it
and for servicing/maintainance I cannot fault Rick who also works at the Robert Bowetts garage in Leeds, He also does alot of work In Elvington at His work shop at very good prices, once you become a member you can get 10% discount from Bowetts, if you mention the club, Enjoy...

^^^ Echo what Ali says about Rick. Very experienced and knowledgeable about Scoobs and a top bloke to boot Alternatively there's HDC Subaru in Hebdon Bridge.

The 04 car for sale Ali mentions is Raf's lovely silver example...HERE

Hi,

I live just 5 miles from Elvington and might need a good local scoob mechanic once the car is ourt of warranty in 8 months.

Do you have contact details for Rick or location of his workshop in Elvington.

South of Malton - can't be more accurate given this is an open forum, but email/PM me if interested.

Thanks guys, that's enough thumbs-up to be a recommendation, and certainly close enough I'll be back when the TVR's sold...
