Default Subaru garages/specialists

Hi

Where do you lot go for your work on your cars?

It seems that all the places I have come to know are blummin miles away,

CPA - Bristol
ScoobyProjects - Hereford
ASP - Newcastle

to name just 3!

I'm having AP 4 pots fitted on mine today and am a bit worried that my garage I normally use (and am currently using so can't change lol) are not "subaru" enough, if you see what I mean!

Thanks.

lol!! It was just for bleeding the brakes really, I reckon I could have fitted them with the help of a friend, but just thought with brakes its best to get it done properly.

As it happens brakes fitted with no problems, well so far anyway!

I hav read about Rich Henry too, might have a mooch there when I next need some stuff doing.

Or use your suzy sledge Tez!!!

Has anyone tried Howard at HDC Subaru in Hebden Bridge. He fitted my cambelt kit and my mate swears by him.

It's in the middle of no where so you'll find yourself standing round watching him work unless you take someone else along so you can call into the pub a few miles down the road.

From Leeds the run over is good fun, especially the drive back when it's in tip top condition.
