Default New Blobeye owner.

Hi guys! Just bought myself a lovely PPP 05 Blobeye STI. 1 Owner from new, with 24,000 miles. Loving it so far! The car had been sat in storage for over 2 years. Im looking to get it serviced because of this. What do you recommend? Subaru dealer or a specialist like scoobyclinic? Its going to be a large one i think, because even with the low miles its going to need the "yearly" service items. Cheers, Sam.

Hi and welcome to the forums Sam - Car sounds great, get some pics up
Think most would advise taking it to a specialist rather than the Dealers but just make sure it's one that comes recommended by the folks on here. Also might be worth check tyres for cracking if it's been sat long as these could be dangerous for driving even if they have good tread.

Enjoy your new car buddy
