Default Servicing in yorkshire

\hi guys

Just bought my scooby and it has been owned by a mechanic for the last 10 years who has self serviced and I have no receipts for anything.

*EDIT* this is her https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...l#post11875051

So I was going to book it in with scoobyclinic for a service:

Cambelt change
Oil and filter
New K and N panel filter
Fuel filter
New spark plugs

If I have used the matrix correctly it looks like it is £636

It sounds expensive to me but is it worth using someone like themselves as they know what there doing? Or should I take it to dave who has been my mechanic on most of my cars for 10 years and has a garage so close to my factory I can shout him?

Or any other recommendations?

I am based in doncaster and live in rotherham cheers!

Hi mate, give Richard Henry Motorsport in Bradford a call, they will be able to carry out everything you need. They have an absolutely fantastic reputation as I'm sure others on here will testify. My class winning sprint and hillclimb car was built there and speaks for itself. The owner Andy has a wealth of knowledge and is the most down to earth bloke I know in the motor trade. These guys will look after you, I recommend them highly

Regards Joe

I use Richard Henry Motorsport in Bradford however have heard good things about Sheffield Subaru Services who are closer to you.

I'd go to someone who is familiar with Imprezas to be honest.

Absolutely agree it needs to be a specialist, I'm sure other members will reiterate how good Richard Henry's are

Does Richard Henry do all form of cars/servicing etc? I'm need of a knowing where a good mechanic is as the last three independants royally screwed up the last car that I had.

Also what are his hourly rates?
