Question Servicing in the Bristol Area

Any recommendations? Either franchised or independent. I've got a MY05 parallel import WRX and the 10k service is looming. Got the 1k done at CDBramalls - no complaints but wanted to check if there's a good, recommended garage around.

Thanks for this. I'll give them a ring.

Any other suggestions? I see enough Scoobys around on my way to work - they must be getting serviced somewhere near Bristol.

Well ... there's always Tileys (Bristol dealership), I bought my MY03 STi from them and they have always been 110% with help, advice and quality work/servicing. And no I don't work on commission ... more's the pity

Whatever you do, dont go to Protech!!!!!, they are terrible, dont have a clue and will fleece you out of money for things that dobt need doing. they have a bad reputation. Tileys are good, they look after me well. apart from that theres not alot else, there are a few other places within a shortish drive.

Ok so I donr know what side of the city you are on, but guys in work use Tileys ans speak very highly of them. Im nearer to Bridgwater so use Vale motors in Wincanton on the A303. Superb reputation with previous owner of my car also.
