Default Essex/Suffolk - Best place for servicing?

Hi new member here. Sorry if this is a simple question and is covered elsewhere.... I have a 4 year old WRX that is due for servicing (40k). When it was within the warranty I had it serviced at Haddocks, where I bought it, in Colchester. They are not cheap however. Where's a good place to get this done by a specialist who will do a proper job, but not charge main dealer prices? Anywhere Essex/Suffolk would be good. Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm not sure if Xtreme or Mocom would be nearer to you, prob Xtreme, but either would look after you well for servicing, etc.

Hello Mike and welcome to the ESC forum.

As Neil said above, Xtreme Scoobies are probably your nearest (Boreham)

Very helpful and knowledgable guys.

Cheers for the rapid response... Just checked out Extreme's website and they look good. Near too, as I live in Brightlingsea. I'll give them a call. Thanks, Mike

Mocom's always been my choice and i'm in Colchester, only just off of the A414, so only 40 minutes or so away from Brighlingsea

Xtreme have just made a fine job of the Cam belt service (50k) on the Stealth Wagon.

When they make you a coffee don't go & chuck it all over the seats though.

Hope the Vanish worked ok guys.

I've used xtreme and special scoobies in colchester. Andy at special scoobys knows his stuff and it was under £250 for a 60K service on a MY99 UK turbo.
