Default Surrey Subaru specialist

My wagon needs some work done, has anyone used Dan at Surrey Subaru specialists? he seems very knowledgeable and a decent guy. he quoted £399.00 + VAT for a cambelt change, more expensive than some but not excessive i think.
TIA
Sam

Dan has looked after my FSTi and my wife's wagon for years (at least five).

I can thoroughly recommend him.

He's always done a great job, been helpful with advice and support, as well as turning up at my house (35 miles away) at ten at night to change a ball joint to get my car off a flat bed recovery vehicle it was trapped on.

Hope that gives you some comfort to go ahead. I don't think you'll regret it.

As for price, he uses proper parts and does a solid job. He's always booked up, so I guess his hourly rate reflects that.

My cambelt was done last week at another specialist and price is on par with what you have been quoted if that helps?

Dan has looked after the last 2 of my Subaru's and he's a very knowledgeable guy when it comes to these cars and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone, his work is always top notch

I don't use Dan as I have mates who work on my car or I do myself but have known Dan for 12 years now and wouldn't hesitate to use if needed

Dan has looked after my car for the last few years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him either!

Well, after collecting my car from Dan, all I can say is what a great job he does, the paperwork trail was enormous and he took 10 minutes to talk me through everything he had done or checked.
Very pleased I used his and would defiantly recommend
