Poison burgers ? Don't they do them at Subway??

Great old review but wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now .

 

Really Maz? What's happened, only place I really ever took mine. I've been away from ownership for 5 or so years and recently picked up a Foz STi. So whose best to use nowadays?

 

Yes mate. No bull. But he is certainly full of it . He did some work for me and decided to sell my JDM 6 speed box that was waiting to go into my classic rb5. Also had an engine waiting to be fitted with the box that I supplied . Told me he was half way throught doing it on the ramps ( had the car for 3 months ) so flew over and was still out the back covered in bird **** . I decided enough was enough so arranged a tow truck to collect the car and bits only for him to try and give me a different gearbox back . Luckily I'm good with numbers so realised it was a differenc box. Then he tried blaming his staff from selling the wrong box by mistake !! This is all from a chap I would occasionally have a beer with .

Mark and Mikey at TDR are who I'd use . Top chaps and very honest trust worthy .

 

Sounds like a right mess. TDR +1

 

Think I saw your car down TDR Harry. You got alloys and tyres to go on ? 😀

 

Bloody hell, sounds like a nightmare. Is David still there or has this been passed on to new management? I'll keep TDR in mind if I need any work done but I'm based in Bracknell now so do you know of anyone you can recommend a.little closer to me

 

 

That's a big shame as David was always really helpful and I was always impressed and happy with the work they carried out. Thanks for the heads up though

 

sshhhhhhhhh

 

 

David retired a couple of years back and Simon is now running API. Been a roller coaster for them with quite a few horror stories sadly. How things change.

 

 

yes as above, whoever has a car at api please remove asap !!!! before the landlord sells them on .........

 

 

ndyep, couple of p1,s i believe. and a few more scoobys

 

That's absolutely nuts how things have taken a U turn and to such a degree to.

 

WOW. Very sad to hear this. Nobody wants to hear news like this. Hope all involved are able to get their property back again.

 

 

 

Company officially dissolved Tuesday this week (18th December 2018)

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08253429

In fact they were actually struck off.

 

what would happen with peoples cars etc? surely they wouldnt get sold off to pay the debts

 

Whoever gets the responsibility to dissolve the company assets will take responsibility of that problem. So long as any owners can present their logbook and proof of ownership then I'm sure they will get their property returned to them eventually. Cars and shells could be ok to trace I would have thought, but if you've spent money on parts and engines etc then it's practically impossible.

It's going to be very messy indeed.

 

i never had any dealings with them but i always thought they were a proper good legit subaru specialist

 

 

When David was there they were a decent company, had a new clutch / lightened flywheel, cambelt and oil pump fitted by them for £600 back in around 2013 ish.

Since David left it seemed to go to rat ****

 

 

Probably belong to the Paint Shop guy who rents part of the workshop there ( nothing to do with API/Simon Bryant btw )
Hopefully the owners of the Impreza's dumped outside can be contacted so they can get their vehicles back.
