Got my 90k mile service coming up including the second cambelt change. Does anyone know how much I should expect to pay at a Subaru dealer?

A Lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

basically it goes like this


YOU: ah mr dealer i need a 90k service on my imprezza

MR Dealer: no problem sir.. can i have your bank account details, a signed authorisation to clear out your bank account, your deeds to your house and all of your credit cards as they will be maxed to the hilt... by the time we finish...

If you read the posts they go from acceptable to ridiculous...

basically its two services together but it looks like the dealer charges you twice...

most of the stuff you can do yourself.. if your competant.. the only one thats the difficult bit is the cambelt... if you look at your handbook you can see what they do...

i would rekon at 90k your out of warranty so shop around

Just paid 460 for a 45k service at local scooby place which included cambelt. I assume 90k is more though because you need plugs changing as well?

I think a 90k service is a 45k service and a 30k service all at once. I think all the fluids get changed (gear box, rear diff, coolant, oil, brakes, clutch) and then cam belt & plugs etc.

As Mart360 says, I'd shop around / DIY the servicing. Don't skimp on the parts though. Buy quality fluids etc. and follow the "Scoobynet approved oil change procedure " and you'll not go far wrong.

I've never had my Scoob dealer/specialist serviced - got it at 60k, now on about 80k and have always managed myself, including the cam belt. They're a bit awkward at first to work on, but you soon get the hang of it.
