Body Service
 
Can some one tell me what the dealer does on the "Fifth year body service."

:brickwall :wonder:

Cheers

Smears salt all over the underneath so it rusts to death 2 years later when the warranty is shot, making you come and buy another and reducing the cars trade-in value :D


Only joking ;) If it's owt like the others then they will just liberally spray waxoil all over the shop.

In a word . . .Are these body services worth it . . .I mea we're talking abt 150 quid down my dealer!:wonder:

£45 at KT Greens near Leeds, or at least it was when I had my 1yr done (haven't bothered since). Phone them and ask for a written quote and then try and get your local dealer to match the price.

No
Waste of money, better off getting the car on some ramps and diy it with some waxoyl. The body is galvanised anyway, apart from the roof and it's hard to underseal that.

Had mine done once (1st body service) never again. The idiot dealers managed to spray waxoil all over the back half of the car :mad:, well done Saturday works experience boy :eek:.

So what yr saying is just spraying waxoil underneath the car and that's it!:wonder: . .Do i know where to spray, where not to spray . .:wonder:

Anywhere you can get the nozzle in. Bootlid, door jaums, bonnet skeleton etc. Just blather it anywhere you can that's normally out of site.

I had the first year body service done at the local Subaru dealer and he managed to get the stuff all over the inside of my alloys! :cry:

Had to take the wheels off and use tar remover to get them clean again!

Not impressed!! :Suspiciou
