Hi,

Can anyone recommend any Subaru specialists in the Aberdeen area to look after a 2005 Impreza WRX?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Wallace Performance might. They are well known for looking after Evo's but they might know a bit about Scoobs?

Maybe worth a phone call?

That's interesting, I thought he only did sales but I see from the website they've got a workshop now. Have you used them?

Cheers,

Brian Downie did a huge amount of work to my track focused Impreza (see profile) and has also been responsible for a good number of other interesting Impreza's around the 'shire. I have no hesitation in recommending him for Subaru owners.

Russell (BHP Developments) is a good pal of mine and an absolute legend of a guy in helping many a Subaru owner out of a fix when something is up with their car. However, as mentioned above he's away till Dec and really only works on the cars when he's home from work as he works abroad. However, if you are keen to try him out then drop him an email (contact as per JohnS post) and see if he can fit you in.

Wallace are also very experienced with Impreza's although a lot of people assume they're just Evo focused because of the cars they choose to run. They have done a lot of work with Simon (green Impreza wagon previously designed for 1/4 mile but now more track focused) and have got his car to a very advanced stage.

That just about sums it up. If you want specialist Impreza knowledge then Kemnay area is where you'll need to go for Brian or Russell. If you would prefer to go with someone more local then Wallace are a very worthwhile choice.

Quick bump to say that Brian Downie is expanding the business and is looking to hire a mechanic/MOT tester.

Interesting work!

Clark Motorpsorts in Kemnay always provided good service when working on my old Impreza wagon, would even give me a lift to / from Dyce when delivering or collecting car.
Also used Wallace Performance and never had any reason to complain.
