from my experience TH Whites are not "specialists" more the main dealer/servicing side,so depends on what you need doing powerstation or API are the only ones really

Blade in Gloucester have been good so far. My WRX waggon only requires normal servicing but my friends imported GTB Legacy gets good service there.

Bob Rawle at BR developments is a mapper. He isn't a workshop tuner type of guy. He can do it obviously, but he's geared up for mapping.

TH white's are subaru main dealers, therefore in my opinion they are specialists... they specialise in Subaru sales and mainainance..

The OP asked for Glos Subaru specialists not mappers/tuners/modifiers so I cannot see an issuse with including them on the list

They carry out my servicing and I've had no problems with them. They've always got the part I want if something need doing.. and if they don't have the part in stock, it's in within 2 days.

Thanks for the replies guys, I did actually mean tuning garages not dealers, should've made that clear - whoops!

Has anyone heard of/used AJEC Servicing in Cheltenham?

If you're looking at tuning garages in/around Cheltenham then I'd strongly recommend Powerstation (only 5 miles out of Cheltenham).. I've never heard of AJEC.

What Impreza do you own?

got a bug-eye wrx, was thinking of just going have a chat with someone about potential tuning mods... won't be getting it don't right away (new clutch first) but would be good to know what to save for over the next couple of months...

Ha... make sure that if you go to Litchfields/Powerstation you leave your wallet at home.... what they do not have is not worth putting on... you can spend a fortune very quickly there...(It's like santa's grotto)

Welcome mate

I use blade for my general servicing as below.

I've always used powerstation for mods but as some else said they aren't cheap.

Slighty out of Gloucestershire (Bristol I think) but I've also heard good things about Scooby Projects.

Oh here is a sneek peek of the snaps I took tonight

Greg is that you?!?!? I'm guessing so as I'm sure I'm the only imported Legacy that goes there.

On topic, someone above mentioned Bob Rawle is the man to see when it comes to mapping.
