Rick did mine a.k.a sub1600 a lot cheaper than subaru dealers. Included cam belt renewed.

 

it is 2002 sti ppp i am after all the lot doing cam belt inc the only thing i dont need is the air filter the only prob i have is that i need the book stamping for the warranty at v.a.t garage cheers

 

well im just getting my evo6 done,,,all in for £250,,,so should be around that price,,,my be a little more,,as subarus are a bit harder to do

1st choice, Rick (sub1600) but he is very busy and hard to get hold of (and he blanked me the other day in Bowetts carpark )

2nd, HDC Subaru in Hebdon Bridge. Howards a top guy who knows his stuff and doesn't rip you off.

3rd choice, although I've not had anything done there we'll give them the benefit, Precious Metal.

4th, Scoobyclinic. Quite a way to go and beware of the mysteriously rising prices which often top dealer rates, even with the labour at £25/hr

 

hi mate ,,,was talking to my mate today,,,and i asked him about a full service including all belts on 02 sti,,,,he said he would charge £260 all in ,and be same day turn round

I had this issue albeit a smaller service (service book needing stamping for warranty) & ended up at Prosport in Stockport. Even after factoring in the cost of getting there it was significantly cheaper & the general service level was significantly better than I've experienced at the dearer local dealers i've used b4 - KTG & RNG (car washed/hoovered/small non service job done foc without mention). They have a menu for pricing so you know exactly what you will pay.
I have to say that the local stealers were hopeless. "Will ring you back" - Didn't. "STi, is that the one with the turbo" - WTF!
Honourable mention though to HDC as Howard knows his stuff & Bowetts - once Sub1600 got on the case - knocked a chunk off the price but were still too high on price 4 me.
HTH, Steve

 

stamp is no prob,,,,so wont affect the warranty
