ANDYJDMSTI Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 You get good and bad stories about everywhere. Best thing to do is try for yourself and if you do not like then dont go again. Personally had nothing but good service from them []

oz *sti* Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 As Andy has said what ever garage you go to there will be good and bad stories to be had and to be honest I have not really heard anything bad about Bill and the boys at Greer's - The way I look at it is I want my car to be looked after by people that know subaru's inside out and who will give me honest information about what needs fix etc,etc.. with Greer's I get this and plus the chat is great and the prices are right as well , also with them being involved in the rallying world they sure do know there subaru's. I myself would not trust my car to be left with any other garage but Greer's.
wilky Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Bill Greer built my car. Its a 95 STI RA with a 98/99 WRC bottom end and heads. The WRC manifold was the only bit we couldnt get so we had one made. He also sourced a Gp A S2 gearbox for me. The car puts out over 420bhp and 420lb ft of torque, It does alot more but it jumped the rollers at dastek so Ill only quote whats been recorded. He set up the handling mods i have to his own spec. He set up the brakes I have just replaced my own hybrid brakes with. He is going to fit a full FIA cage and all the WRC Carbon interior I have. He balanced my bottom end so the crank is proportional to the pulley, so finely balanced in fact that the engine tore the center out the flywheel it was balanced to. Bill said "Woops, a bit to fine!! Sorry" and replaced the whole lot as quickly as his workload would allow free of charge and changed expensive oil and plugs free of charge as way of a freebie. When he doesnt know he says "I dont know but I can phone a man and find out" When he makes a mistake in my experience he says sorry and fixes it (There was an instance where a mistake was made but customers trying to defend him and trying to be nice made matters worse) Every garage makes mistakes now and again, especiallly if your building fast cars cos more can go wrong. I have spent thousands at Greersport Racing and I am very happy. I dont suffer fools galdly and would tell you right now if I thought they were no good. If I want my car serviced or something done I cannot do I will take it across Scotland to Bill rather than than take it any where else closer. Bill has been building rally cars since I can remember. And 9 times out of 10 gets it right. The one time is a pretty good strike rate. Ask anyone who does this work, East Linton, Ears etc etc. They will all tell you the same you cannot keep everyone happy or get it right 100% of the time. But what you can do is accomodate any dramas and make it better. I think that about sums it up. And that is why me, a greeting faced confrontational madman who gets on with no one and hates the world likes Billy and Col;in Greer. They are pretty good in my books. Callum W SIDC Life member.
craig mac Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 There you go Imprezaturbo95 And you can not get a fairer review than that[]
james666 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 i never heard bad things about greersport only good, i had a 309git years ago and i took it to AssVeeAss they told me the airflow meter was gubbed and they tried to adjust it but made it worst, gave it to bill and for £60 i had the car serviced and new plugs leads fitted the car ran like a sweety until lost brakes at 120 coming on to roundabout. Greers work is top notch cant fault them they know jap stuff like a fat kid knows cakes!!!!
mckelvr Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 greersport have been working on my cars for years and i have nothing but praise for them they have done lots of work to my sti and transformed it into a super quick car .. they have also been looking after my pulsar gtir for the last 4 years which was good enough for a 5 page feature in j tuner this year and a 6 page feature in japanese performance car last year the guys from both magazines were very impressed with the quality of work on it .. the thing is bill and the boys know japanese cars inside out and i would rate them 100 percent
G.Mac Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 I walked into their garage once and saw them working on Alistair McRae's Mk2 Escort fitted with the Nissan touring car engine just before Alistair went racing with it. enough said Graeme
