My 2003 WRX is going in for it's first service (10,000 miles) - how much have any of you guys paid?

Brian.

 

where r you taking yours to ???

 

I will be taking it to Drive Subaru in Falkirk area.

Thanks.

 

soz i am hijacking but how were they with your first svs ??

 

Do you mean the 1000 mile service - if so I have no idea - when I bought the car as ex-demo they had done the first 1000 mile service at about 150 miles (ARGHHHHH!). It has been oil changed, fully synthetic since then anyway.

 

i take it you bought it from drive ??
i have ordered my sti from then an i get 1st march just wanted someones opinion on them

 

wrxmania - just had mine done and it cost £200 including mud flaps and fitting - I recon about £150 for the service, have heard some have got it done for £110

£130 for my sti8 At Chandlers Horncastle, only one complaint no tea or coffee

 

Supply your own oil and make sure all fluids are at max.

MY 10K SERVICE

Mark

 

typical tim always after a freeby!!!

 

Just had mine done this week I paid £150 all in.

 

Had my 02 done about 3 weeks ago, cost £118 but on checking the gearbox oil a few weeks later it was below the minimum despite having the service sheet ticked, it is a check and rectify on the schedule, still to phone them and kick off!

 

I paid £130 just before Xmas at Stan Palmers. A super job they did too.

 

Just cost me £180 for 03 WRX for 10k service. Astonishing given what I used to pay before (Corrado VR6, specialist co, £30 per hour inc VAT). Garage I used - Cheam Moters - were friendly though and the cheapest that I could find within a reasonable driving distance.
Given what's included in a 10k serice I'd expect a priove of approx £60 + oil and folter would be nearer the mark.

 

I paid £155 for the 10k and £189 for the 20k

A bit pi$$ed off becouse they added Wiperblades and Sceen wash without asking me!!!
it needed the blades but not the screen wash...@£1.99 I could buy 5 lts from Morrisons for that!

Next time thier will be no additions! I be getting very legal if they do!

I also topped the washer bottle prior to going in and they still charged me 90p for screenwash!!!

 

All chirpy chirpy compared with the Maserati 3200GT I had before the 03 WRX - £1000 to£1500 for a service! (before anything went wrong!!).

 

My 10K service on STi8 came in at £150 although I did bring my own oil

 

AR - How does your 03 WRX compare to the Maserati then?
What was the Maserati like for reliability - appaling like most Italian cars?

 

The 3200GT is fine if you can live with very light steering and no traction in the wet in 1st and 2nd! Reliability was ok but the electronics are fragile and servicing expensive. The new 4200GT is much cheaper to service, has heavier steering and has better traction due to the lack of turbos but they have made it softer.
