Services
From warrant fixes to full builds.
Straight off their own page: modifications, repairs and diagnostics. Here's what that covers.
Repairs & servicing
All automotive repairs and servicing, on any make. Daily drivers welcome, not just the fun stuff.
WOF repairs
Failed a warrant? Ruben gets cars up to WOF standard fast. Two recent reviews say exactly that.
Engine & turbo setups
From tired factory motors to fresh turbo builds on the stand, set up properly and tested.
Custom performance builds
Modifications and performance work with a soft spot for Subarus. One customer calls Ruben a genuine Subaru specialist.
Fabrication & upgrades
Custom fabrication to make the parts fit and the build come together the way you pictured it.
Selling your car?
Ask about the advertisement package. It helped one customer sell his car within two days of the WOF work.
The workshop
New location. New look. Same quality work.
That's how Ruben announced the move to 23 Monokia Street. Every photo below is his own: the hex lit workshop, the builds on stands, and the cars that roll out the door.

Reviews
Every single review: five stars.
“Absolutely 10/10 service every single time! Being a Subaru specialist is no easy job but he genuinely knows his stuff inside & out. He does thorough checks to make sure the job is done properly and takes extra care to make sure the car is safe for me and my kids. He's super communicative, explains things clearly and is always fair with pricing. You can tell he takes real pride in his work. Good person all around, Highly recommend!!”
