Default Recommend me a garage in the Manchester/Huddersfield area?

Hello I'm new.

I own a 04 Forester so not as swift as some of yours

Please help, I'm looking for a competent garage to carry out a clutch change on the forester. The garage doesnt even need to be a Subaru Specialist. Just someone who wont install a clutch and wonder post-fit why something isnt working, or fit the clutch with the help of instructions and take longer than quoted. Someone who knows their stuff....

I've contacted a few so far (one in Heaton Mersey, Rochdale and Chesterfield). Abit pricey. Any others? I can drive to them within reason (say 30miles from Manchester). I dont even mind taking it to a Scooby fanatic who is acknowledged as adept on Subaru mechanic/engines.
