Best guy around Leeds is Rick (sub1600 on here) Click to PM

After that I'd go for Howard at HDC Subaru in Hebdon Bridge. Penine in Hebdon Bridge are well respected too.

If you want a main dealer, Bowetts in Hunslet offer a 10% discount if you mention you're in the WYIOC (West Yorks OC).

Darren, you're going to get a range of suggestions that we all pretty much approve of..

Also depends on where you are and if you want main dealer or not?

It depends on where you are, but you could start off by trying Zac & Drew @ precious Metals in Knottingly or even Rick who posts on here as Sub1600 who works out of Elvington......

Some of the main Subaru dealers also get good reviews... but there'll be people along with names and addresses shortly..

Do you know, when I clicked to view my UserCP and saw you'd posted, in my head I imagined you'd put exactly what you typed

im in leeds nr moortown im not too fussed about main dealer i may be wrong but i was thinking a respective specialist may be more honest than a main dealer?and maybe more reasonable,as long as its a good service and i get a stamp for the book!

Call me obvious, but I thought it best to post something whilst waiting for those who regularly put the more detailed info in...

Rick is probably your best man in this case, but he's usually very busy (because he's good)...

But Zac & Drew are getting some good reviews and will give you an open and honest appraisal..

Rick is still freelance so may not be able to stamp your book, at least last time we spoke he hadn't got that bit sorted. But he is the most knowlegeable and honest guy I could recommend. Howard is up there with him however, and can indeed stamp your book.

What Dave (Corradoboy) said. Rick @ Elvington. Wouldnt take mine anywhere else. Honest and reliable which is a lot more than could be said for the majority of main dealers round here... and if anyone jumps on me, ask me for my experiences!!

Have pm'd you a number in case he doesnt see this
