Question Subaru servicing specialist.

Where do you chaps (and chapesses) get your scoobs serviced? Local to Castleford particularly. Obviously those with warranties and free servicing are not being canvassed here. Getting hold of my usual bloke is becoming problematic.

... but we're allowed to stick our oars in anyway, n'est ce pas?

A few I've heard of:- (in no particular order or preference or anything else)

Well Lane Turbo, Batley
The Racing Line, Bradford
HDC Subaru, Hebden Bridge

If the other local peeps don't come up with much, it might be worth dipping a toe into "Dealers & 3RD party suppliers"

For small stuff, I use a guy who lives just down from the sweet factory.. Name's Des.

He's an Audi mechanic and has always done me proud for oil, brakes and your general fluids and checks.... done off his drive, but no issues here..

I'll PM you his number..

Aah yes.. the great Oil debate..

Nowt wrong with 0. Some say it's a bit thin at start up.. but if it's good enough for RS4's 6's and TT Turbo's, then I think it's good enough for me..

Mass debating aside, he sounds ideal for those mini-services, Al. Does he stamp the book properly?
