All my local dealerships only give discounts to Scoobies with GOLD wheels.

Ok..have now checked my Scooby paperwork file and in June last year I paid £350 incl VAT/labour/parts (spark plugs, oils, fuel filter etc) for my 24 month service. Labour element was £153 + VAT. No SIDC or other discounts incl.

This was on a MY99 at Quenbys (Baldock, Herts).

Thanks Mate - anyone else got prices??

Pete

 

375 - Anthiny Betts MK.

Just had mine done Pete, phoned 4 garages in the south east, the cheapest were Barrets £400 and Spring Park £420. Thats without SIDC discount which they both give. I went with Spring Park because they were a lot nearer.

Cheers,
Andrew.

 

Thanks all - any more offers??

£375 looks good, Milton Keynes?? My parents live there so could do it, whats the petrol cost?? about £21?? Free visit to my mummies then!! are they any good though?

Pete

 

I would ring them for their current price 01908 326600.

I've had all my services since 7.5K done there - they are the cheapest in the area (either them or Adams Aylesbury (who were always more expensive by a far way)).

Good - well they do what it says in the book - no full synth oil though if you want that then supplyt it yourself (thats what I did).

Last time I was there for the 37.5k t'other week they didnt have any used Scoobs though - didnt ask what was going one - although have to say went in a month ago and they had loads used + 1 P1s and a UK 300.

Confused ?

More than satisfied with service - xcept the justy ! Even my 5 year old said - "doesnt go very fast dad" !

Would you believe that Lancaster, Pangbourne want £480!!!!????

20% ABOVE the Norm!!!???

Wide berth there then - £80 will buy a lot of petrol to get somewhere else - consider it a FREE drive!!

Pete

 

Tiley's Bristol quoted me 446.54 for the 30k service

 

Its a real smack isnt it??

Imagine the cost if you did it yourself??

Materials? about £150?? Labour Free, no VAT, etc.

****, I DO hope that VAT is included in the quotes I have been given?

Pete

 

£320 Robinsons of Rochdale inc SIDC discount

 

yep mine included the vat..

T.

 

after phoning my main 2 dealers here's what i found out:

Tileys (Bristol) offer the 30k service for £458 (inc VAT)
Listers (Worcester) offer the 30k service for £455 (inc VAT)

Tileys give 10% off Labour to SIDC members
Listers give 10% off Parts and Labour to SIDC members

(You have to take your SIDC card to both to get the discount).

 

Gibsons of Brock (it's near Preston for you southern softies ) quote £286.15 on their web site. Sure they aren't authorized Subaru dealers anymore (they were up until about a year ago, only stopped because they got into importing from Europe) but I'm tempted for my 2 year - 22700 service.

 

£286??????????????????????????????

Just bl00dy well shows how the 'Official' dealers are ripping us off doesnt it???

What do you reckon they 'Skip' on?? yes, right, NOTHING !!!!

Pete

 

argghhh

do i get a dealer service or a non-dealer service the eternal question......

 

30,000 mile service - 2 years - worth driving some distance!!

Cost?? I have had quotes from £400 - £443!!!!!!

Pete

Give me your best prices!!!! PLeeeeese!!
