My 37,500 service (just the basic oil change and check it's got 4 wheels on it) was about £110 I think

Think you're right, mate, you're being stung. Usually around £110 from a dealer. Their labour charges must have doubled if they want to charge you £190. Oil is still the same price - around £34 for 4ltr of Mobil 1 or similar from most places.

I'd get another quote if I were you.

444.50 for my 76k full service. Change all oils, oil filters and plugs. I can feel different before and after!

I too bought my baby from them - but they arent on the subaru website as a dealer - anyways over 12 months now so I'll be off to SS or S4U or TSL.

I paid around 55 quid for my last intermediate service from a main dealer! (provided my own oil though) so yes, you have been stung!

Maybe they are charging more because theirs a lots less places to go now. Back to supply and demand, they have a captive audience,
