Default Not much up North...

In the North East we only have 1 main Subaru dealer and even he is just a small dealer to be fair. I've also looked around for garages that may tune my car up as fancy an upgrade but not sure if I want the whole PPP... can't seem to find any.

Are all the decent garages down south or something?

Thanks Neil I'll take a look at them.

I bought my car from GMD, took a lot of batering to get him to a decent price. I've tried their service department a couple of times but they just don't seem interested. They are the only official Subaru dealer up here.

I've always been very happy with Gilesgate Subaru over at Hexham.

Anyway as mentioned Alyn at ASP, well respected throughout the Scoob and Evo world.
