Default scoobyclinic or scoobyworld

Has these 2 firms are not too far from me, can anyone give me any feedback on them. It would be nice to hear from someone who has used them both, and which firm they rated best.

I have recently used scoobyworld fo a remap and was impressed with the results, and they seem very resonable on there prices have been buying parts from them for years.

Also had it serviced a few times although i do that myself now

Wat are u planning on having done

they both have a good selection of parts,think i might take mine to scoobyworld for a boost gauge and fitting,and with scoobyworld you get discount on fitting at scoobyworks when you buy the part from scoobyworld

its a matter of cutting the pipe next to the dump valve and putting a t piece in.
then the usual 12v,earth wires which you can take from your stereo wiring or clock.

of all the gauges its one of the easiest to wire up, hours job maximum.

Wouldn't touch clinic with a scaffold tube to be honest. There sales/after sales service is ridiculous!!!
Like someone previously said if its for small inexpensive parts they turn there nose up at you!!
But if you want your car track prepped then there literally licking your ****.
I rang up after a replacement wastegate spring for a external wastegate/turbo kit they had sold me. And all I got
Off them is "to be honest I can't even remember selling that setup and your best bet is to look on google"
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL FIRST CLASS SERVICE!!!
Sorry to all the scoobyclinic enthusiasts :P

Wat are u planning on having done
I have booked my car with scooby clinc to have the cam belt and valve clearance checked on drivers side has it taps badly on that side. It does not effect the running of the car in anyway.
I had a drive over to them has they said they would look at it, to be honest they said they would not charge me to look but charged me a hours labour £45 when i got there, can not moan has they spent a hour on it so can not expect them to spend there time for nothing.
They could not find the fault and said the rocker cover would need to come off and would need to book it back in if i wont it looking out. I need the cam belt doing and they said it would be cheaper labour costs to have the whole lot done at same time £350 all in.They think it might of thrown a shim or been shimed wrongly.
The car is a uk 1999 impreza and i love it, so if i dont get any bad news tomorrow when it goes back in, i am thinking of making it sound upping power to around 300hp, and coil overs ect when i get overtime. I did not no about scooby world and they are less miles to me. The car has done 100k now, its just a thinking game, should i spend on it when will the engine need building or should save for newer model. Just can not work out which is best.

Clinic for me never had a problem and it's never mattered if it's been something small or large they've always been more than happy to help. Never taken mine anywhere else. also
If there is any issues after then they will get it sorted.

Scoobyworlds aftermarket sales is excellent i resently had an irritating noise that could not be found. After leaving the car with them and also spending the afternoon with them myself swapping over different parts and checking the car with det cans etc thy still didnt charge me anything.
We found the problem to be the 3port boost solenoid vibrating on the front wing.
Very good company
