Still fairly new and need some help please

I've been going to K T Green to get my car serviced, and they are amazing , but it really costs. Been thinking about changing but need to know where is good that I can get to from the West Yorkshire area.

Oh, I want to come to a meet to see everyone but work seems to ruin the idea every time Think I can probably blag some time in the next week or so, when is everybody next meeting up again?

Cheers
Michael

 

Hello Michael

For servicing, they don't come much better than Rick at RE Motorsport based at Elvington, nr York. Alternatively, there's Howard at HDC Subaru in Hebdon Bridge. A bit further away there's also Scoobyclinic. I've used them all, and recommend them all unreservedly.

The main meet is on the last thursday of the month at Squires just outside Sherborn-in-Elmet, so just gone I'm afraid. There is a small meet at The Trading Post, Castleford today to discuss the Stelvio trip, not a proper meet. Quite a few of the guys will be at Elvington on the 10th, along with some of the NYSOC crowd. I believe it's free to spectate, but passenger passes are just £5 and we're a kind and friendly bunch, so I'm sure if you wanted a couple of laps there'd be a seat offered.

HTH, and look forward to meeting you someday, although I don't get along as much these days and am Scoobless anyway

 

Echo what Dave has already said. 2nd vote for RE Motorsport RE Motorsport Subaru Dealer, Subura Imports, Subaru Specialist

10th November is Elvington Track Day and is free to spectate

I'm sure Rick (RE Motorsport) get's quite bored from all the praise but I'd also highly recommend him, he's knows Subarus inside out and the cost compared to dealers is peanuts.

 

Another vote for Rick, top man, really knows his stuff.

howard at hdc is the man,,

phone round for prices mate ,,but i think hdc will come out on top ,,and the service is first class

hdc 01422846868
stu

 

Credit wheres its due hey


Fixes everyone elses problems


Remember its not always about costs...

 

Alot of WYIOC members use hdc and precious metal and both come highly recomended

 

RE full service 540
hdc full service 350

200 is a big diffrance for the same service/quality

both very good at what they do ,,but 200 extra is a little ott

stu

 

Not sure where you got the price from Stuart

20k service £166
30k service £314
40k service £166
50k cambelt service £296.

rick at RE MOTORSPORT top man he has just rebuilt my engine for me give hima try you wont be dassapointed

 

the 50k cambelt service £296 ,that doesnt include diff oils/gear box oil/brake fluid/sceens wash

and thats only on a uk car its 400 ish on a sti with noe of the above

so i think my 540 is about right

stu

 

60 Month or 50,000 Mile RE Motorsport Service

Engine Oil Millers CFS 10w/60 4.5L
Sump Plug Washer Subaru 1
STI Oil Filter STI 1 - the pretty pink one
STI Cam/Timing Belt STI 1
Screen Wash Subaru 1


Total £403.57

 

im not saying ricks not good at his job ,,im just saying other places do the same plus gear box oil / diff oil/brake fluid for £350

and its the same good quality service ,,BUT £150 ISH CHEAPER

stu

 

So its agreed the places to go are either
HDC
RE
CLINIC
PRECIOUS METAL

 

yes mate they are the ones to go to

all very good at what they do

stu

 

 

From the feedback my guess is :

1. Precious Metal are nearer, and I haven't had problems with their work.
2. Rick is THE Subaru man, but he's further away, again faultless.

Can't comment, except to say K.T. Greens are dealers, so cost more. but again i can't fault them in my experience.

Dave is right. We all have our preferences to whom we use. I have used RE twice now, no complaints. Until that, if it does change I shall continue to use him. Which I doubt it will. We can chew the fat forever on this one, but at the end of the day, its your car, your money, your choice.

I used to use a main dealer, but they didn`t seem interested. Some may know who I am talking about.

Ant

 

dave, iv not fallen out with any one,,clinic or hdc,,,and never have or will as they have both worked on my cars ,,,

and has simon says
So its agreed the places to go are either
HDC
RE
CLINIC
PRECIOUS METAL

stu

 

 

thats why its 200 more as its just sat in car park most of the day ,,instead of been worked on for a good solid 4 hours

just adding it on the bill


stu

 

 

Didn't list in any particular order Dave, just as I typed thats all, if it would make it any better feel free to rearange them in an order to suit, not that it makes any difference, as i listed them as the top places IMO and all have pretty good feedback from the majority of customers.....
At the end of it these four are the best local to the area I believe.
Not sure on prices etc but if any are wrongly/mistakenly wrote then im sure it can be edited to change

 

Welcome Monkeydile,

There is also a JAP meet on Tuesday at Squires not sure if anyone is off to this, im sure there will be a post up soon.

I hope all you are much clearer on the servicing front

If it helps we use Scoobyclinic, HDC and have used Precious Metal, weve found its just best weighing up what you need doing, speaking to them all and then deciding....

Hi Michael

As you can see you have a number of places to take your car too that aren't main dealers. I've worked at main dealers including KT Green's, so know they aren't your cheapest option.

Rick

 

get yourself to precious metals.. they got a winter offer on. 176 quid for the service, include plugs... there is a thread on the forum somewhere... mines goin there a week on saturday for a service...

end of the day, its whats closest to where you live... personally i hate travelling, so i'm gonna make the most of what is on the doorstep!

PS: Stu... have ya flogged the car yet?
