Default Rick Woods - Stockport

Can anyone tell me any info on these guys. I need to find somewhere to service my Impreza and hear they know their stuff?

Thanks

prosport are good, they dont cut corners and will tell you everything wrong with your car

best bit is that they are very close as well, just down the side of parswood bowling and stuff.

You'll not go wrong with Adam at Autotechnica Bob. Ex subaru mechanic at Monks Heath, knows the cars inside out, extremely good prices (better than Prosport by far) top service and after sales.
Highly recommended by both myself and Andy s and others from SMACS.

You will not go wrong with Adam. Top bloke and he doesn't rip you off. Also has good contact with grade A for getting used parts.

Another thumbs up from me for Adam. I have taken my cars to him for over 2 years and have always been delighted with the results.

Spotted a name I recognise so thought I'd add my view cos its worth knowing who the good guys are.... I've known Ric Wood for about 13 years and he worked on all my cars. I think he's a cut above most garages because he specialises in racing, race engine building and proper engineering. He runs a gas flow business CNCHeads, is a superchips, unichip and DTA dealer, has a 4WD rolling road and a dyno cell at least 4 CNC machines etc etc. The engines he builds are just mega. (He did 2 for me and they were great. )

Basically, if want serious work doing, he's the man. He does plenty of Subaru work too... He has a website Ric Wood Motorsport

If you want a fantastic service at a good price then it is Adam at Autotecnica all the way. I've used him for years now and I've always been very happy.

i'd put a vote in for rob at stella 01298 816160, done a few bits for me and now fitting a new engine as mine recently blew up (came and collected it for me as well). very good prices, very good service and certainly knows his stuff. its a pleasure to use a garage that will go the extra mile and not rip you off for it. very good price for lazer geom alignment set up as well.
