Hi all, I moved to Nailsea a couple of weeks ago from London. I drive a '03 Scooby WRX so I'm looking for recommendations for...

1. Subaru servicing, dealer or good independent.

2. Tyre supplier (I normally drive a 100 mile round trip to Micheldever for my Goodyear F1s - I demand high standards & low prices wink

3. Good driving roads in the area.

Well I've been working in Bristol for 18 months so I know all the city centre restaurants... Old India, Kathmandu, Tikka Flame, etc etc.

Guys, The Jubo Raj in Cotham Hill = excellent. Worth the trek for those of you joined umbilically to the Gloucester Road.

I always used Tiley the main dealer. They did a good job and weren't too outrageous.

Protyre in Lawrence Hill are a susidiary (AFAIK) of Micheldever. Certainly they're good value and don't use airwrenches.

Came highly recommended to me. Have used them thrice now and can only say good things about them.
