Default Gatwick group.
Sending the pride and joy up there in a couple of weeks for a major service..
Havnt been there for work before and after a ring round they came back as most sensible price wise and seemed very helpfull..

Anyone else used them and what's the general feeling about them
Don't want to have a return journey for a head banging session

Thanks

Feel free to p.m if you don't want to comment on here
And Yes I'm seriously fussy bout where it goes!!

They use to work on my cars before they went so modified, never ever had a problem with them and was always happy with the work done

Never had a problem with them, but don't use them for general servicing anymore due to dealer's labour rates.

Dave is a good guy and knows his scoobs, nice to get a courtesy car whilst having work done too Last job i had done up there was the perished fuel lines that caused a fuel stink in the winter on the bugeyes - its a intake manifold off job. Cost about £330 at the time but about six months later Subaru issued a free fix as it affected so many cars - Dave put a claim in with Subaru UK and i got a nice refund

I've been using them since Cheam Motors ceased trading. Never had a problem, always got a good service from them and their prices have been better than other local Subaru dealerships who I've got quotes from (especially the new Subaru dealership in Croydon).

Thumbs up from me!
