Only been down a couple of times myself after hearing good reports on here but they really know their Subarus and the service is second to none. Greersport Block 1, Unit 2 Lochshore Ind. Est. Glengarnock KA14 3AZ 01505 683388 They do a SIDC discount which appears to be based on how many times Fai 17 has been in with a takeaway in the last month! Edited September 10, 2007 by JamesM
jwildgoose Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 i work at the F1 garage and we might be able do u 1 for £100 mate.
andy Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 i work at the F1 garage and we might be able do u 1 for £100 mate. It would cost him more than that to go from Glasgow to Norfolk and back...
marky.t.s Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 It would cost him more than that to go from Glasgow to Norfolk and back... would that be a "wildgoose chase" then!
nippysweeties Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 would that be a "wildgoose chase" then! GROAN
Stevie G Posted September 10, 2007 Author Posted September 10, 2007 Cheers for the replies Guys Might give Greers a call, otherwise i'll just get my local garage to do it! There's no way im paying £170 for an Oil change
jwildgoose Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 very funny mate lol i hear that 1 all the time!!!!
st3ph3n Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Oil change is pretty straight forward. If you've got the gear it's dooable yourself.
colzo Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 would that be a "wildgoose chase" then! One of your better ones Mark.

Was about £110 (with SIDC discount ) iirc for my WRX oil/filter service. Good bunch over there - will run you into town for a bit of scoff while they get to work then pick you up and run you back to a washed car! I'm from your general neck of the woods but having used Milngavie a few times now, I have been so thoroughly underwhelmed by their attitude and (lack of) service, my car now gets a wee run across to Falkirk for servicing - 'nuff said! If you're on the south side, might want to consider S&S down in Ayr. Used them before for service work and they were good on price even before SIDC discount. Now live too far away for that round trip to be worth my while but you might be a good bit closer. Cheers, Stewart.
G.Mac Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Same with S&S down in ayr, they offer a SIDC Discount and are not cowboys like the one you were talking about, at least you will get a Subaru trained mechanic working on your car there instead of some Vauxhall monkey Graeme
Stevie G Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 I used to get my car serviced over in Falkirk as i had a friend in the paint shop and got a discount. I have other bit and pieces need done to the car, so was going to get my local garage who are usually very good, a call. But i might give the Falkirk Garage a call for the service Cheers
oobster Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Stevie - I've also used Ian Grieve and found them to be great, but you could also try Hypertech in Bonnybridge.
Double Zero Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Stevie - I've also used Ian Grieve and found them to be great, but you could also try Hypertech in Bonnybridge. I've had work done by Hypertech and can't fault them as for Grieve's i've heard nothing but good report's Stevie ____________ 01 WRX Edited September 11, 2007 by Double Zero
Stevie G Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 I'm booked in to Ian Grieve, £140 quid plus a 10% discount was mentioned which should bring it down further, so not too bad It beats £170 quid and at least the FSSH continues Thanks for your help
