Ive just bought a MY95 wagon with full Subaru history.
I phoned Robinsons in Rochdale for the service costs:

7500 miles £110
15000 miles £140
30000 without plugs £300
30000 with plugs £400.

Does this seem reasonable?

Comments anyone?

looks about normal. Is there a local specialist you could use instead of the dealer ?

£100 for plugs Ok, they're bit fiddly to fit but you can buy them for £25.

Go to Roger Clark - 30k is £310 ish.

I dont know who else to trust really.
Roger Clark is too far away for me really.
I was thinking a local garage could sort the plugs out cheaply and get the dealers to do the rest.

The plug fit sounds a bit steep! If you can buy then for around 25 note, that leaves 75.00 for labour and not more than around half an hour to fit? what do they do, take the engine out for that?
