OK then. my mate has just spun his WRX Wagon (at 40mph) clipped another car with the back then gone up a bank.

It now is in need of some TLC. He lives in Sheffield.

Any recommendations from personal experience of repairers in this area would be greatly appreciated ?


For those who know the area is was the left hand bend coming out of Oughtibridge heading towards Stocksbridge, doing 40-45mph (not accelerating) back end snapped out wihtout any warning, long period of sideways with no noticable slowing of speed (?) then clunk into a Corsa coming the other way. No one injured, my mate is bit confused as he's done 60mph round that bend many times in the past with no probs, but isn't that always the way. Lad in Corsa bit gutted as only passed his test a week ago....

Cheers

 

Sounds like a job for the clinic

www.scoobyclinic.co.uk

 

i would say take it to scoobyclinic they are just outside chesterfield.

highly thought of on here by alot of peeps

 

Cheers guys I know they are highly thought of and even paid them a visit 2 weeks ago for a look round, but I was wondering about places peeps have actually personally used and how they got on with them.

You know "eventually it was great but I had to keep on at them, and I had to refuse to take it back twice" - had this personal experience myself with a repairer in Sheffield (with my last car).

 

Definately contact the scoobyclinic, did a great job on my car.

I previously had a black 2.0 sport that got rear ended last year, used ADR for the repairs but the paint job just wasnt right. A couple of months after buying the sti, i had a slight argument with a fence post and decided not to claim from the insurance. Contacted the scoobyclinic, gave a good price for the repair, so i booked the car in. Was a bit suprised when they phoned me to tell me the car was done as it was a few days earlier than they quoted. But what can i say, turned up to collect the car and what a fantastic job, you cant even tell it had been damaged.

Only trouble is I cant keep away from the place, i'm hooked on buying extras now ( or is it that im just a shop-a-holic ).

 

Always found Monty's (Scoob dealers) bodyshop to be great.

 

hi m8
i think i drove past that tonight tonight hope eveyone is ok as harry boy said monty's are good but if you are paying yourself then you might not want to be paying dealer prices

 

Monty's is too pricey m8, you'd be better off at the clinic they will do a great job for your m8

 

I DO NOT recommend ADR for repairs. THe were supposed to be repairing my 306 after a tree fell on it during a storm. I had to take it back so many times and it still wasn't fixed.

In the end I sold it (though I did buy my scooby instead!)

 

Can't comment on the clinic, but Monty's have always got a perfect match for me - always right first time.

 

clinic

 

Yes know that bend well,its had my **** end out once as well
but luckily nothing coming the other way so managed to hold and recover

you know the situ"yeah,yeah meant to do that,i am a rally driver" sort of excuse to the missus

mark
oh and ab styling at neepsend are top notch and very keenly priced

 

Another happy Scoobyclinic customer

 

Car has gone to Monty's today.

My mate can't praise Subaru Assist enough. 1 phone call, car collected and taken away last night to secure storage, him dropped off at home, and then car delivered to Monty's today, no problems. He'll even get a courtesy car from them for 2 days.

NU wanted to send the car to Dixon Car clinic, been there got that experience, wont be paying them a visit again soon, so hence the car didn't go to the "approved" repairer, so no courtesy car from the insurance but no loss there.

 

It will be at the 'Clinic by lunchtime then. They do all Montys bodywork

 

 

Oh no they don't....

 

They have a bodyshop on site!

 

Exactly - and my WRX was in there last week. Minor rear bumper scrape before you all ask....

Dealt with Barry - very professional, nice chap.

 

yup scoobyclinic. ive spent thousands there and will again if i MUST

 

Cheers guys.....

Bit of hitch at the moment, Monty's waiting for insurance assessor as they are confident it will be written off !!!!

They reckon it's only worth £7000 and they need £4000 of parts to fix it, plus labour on top.

Where they get their valuation from is beyond me.

My01 on Y plate
Standard car (many examples on Subaru website =£11k minimum for a standard car)
Modifications : Oz 10 spokes in anthracite with P-Zeros, Prodrive Springs, Morettes, 330mm Brake upgrade, scoobysport back box, plus a few other bits and pieces estimate with a new replacement value of about £4500
Thus I make it more like £15,500 to replace with same spec vehicle.

Where they make up their valuation of £7000 is beyond me ? ? ? ? ?

 

are the mods declared to the insurance? if not they wont mean jack to the value of the car.

 

try aw deneby
