Question Subaru Service Depts - Scotland

Can anyone recommend a good Subaru Dealer Service Department in East/Central Scotland. Heard varying reports regarding service department and technicians quality in Perth/Forfar/Penicuk/Falkirk. Anyone had "good experiences" with any Dealers?

Need to stay with dealer due to warranty!!

Thumbs up

Nobles in Penicuik are expensive but tend to be very good (on a good day).

01968 672003 (service department)

As for
varying reports
, I guess you'll get that about any dealer.

In all seriousness I would have no hesitation about taking it there for servicing.

They'll even wash your car for ya

I had loads of work done there over the last 2 years, new engine, gearbox and loads of servicing.

Some relatively strange advice re MAF sensors etc but the head mechanic (Willie ... now left I think ) was excellent.

Cheers and good luck

Anyone used Halleys in Milngavie yet for servicing ? My 03 WRX is due its 10,000 mile service in May and I am not sure where to take it. I only bought it a fortnight ago from Phoenix Paisley and I told them not to bother servicing it. The car was originally sold by S and S in Ayr anyone know if they are any good ?

I have used AF Nobles for all 3 services my car has needed and despite being a bit pricey the service is second to none and Colin Noble has got to have the best memory of any service dep i have ever used as every 6 months he still knows who you are where you work and knows the car and its little problems imagine if you will how many people this dude must see in a 6 month period but remembers me evry time ?

I've never used Nobles for any servicing, but,

bought plenty parts, and have always been happy with the service.
