Chiark,

I've found FR Pulleyn at York very good and cheap as well.

My last 7500 service was less than £80

They are also more than happy to service Euro Imports.

Cheers,

Ian.

I've been phoning around and have been quoted, lowest - £450 for a non turbo sport


This surely must be way over the top?

oh well looks like its in the region...

they stung me £20 plus vat for collection and return. They will of course be taking that back as they have never charged me for this in the past.

I guess at the end of the day it depends how far you're prepared to travel to get a cheaper service.

Thanks for the feedback anyway.

Ok so I've just been invoiced £472 for my 30,000 2 year service.

Includes spark plug change etc etc.

Is this about right or have I been well and truly stung?

Quick advice please before I rant at them for extorsion.

It's ballpark for the expensive South IMO.
Most seem about that kind of money, less 10pct for SIDC membership.

£381.42 fixed price at Nobles in Edinburgh.

I'm due for mine as well, and was considering having it done by a local Impreza specialist. Subaru trained guys, all original parts (or better, such as option for K&N panel filter) and only £250 for SIDC members.

Just not quite sure about the warranty.

THAT'S EXTORTION!!!
I paid less than that for my 45k service, and that's the most expensive one!
What dealer is it?
How is the cost broken down?

I've been warned that my next service (30k) will be around 420 quid...

Anyone know a good reliable garage in the Yorkshire area who isn't charging the earth?

K T Green - Leeds - 30,000 Mile service:

UK Turbo MY99:

My car 24/01/01 £369.57 (Supplied my own oil)
Girfriends car 31/05/01 £331.86 (Supplied own spark plugs but not oil).

Both include VAT - I get 10% discount on parts.

I have always had good service from K T Greens even though neither car was supplied by them.

Had my 30K done about 2 weeks ago:

£330 all in from John Wilding in Kendal.

(and they changed my rear discs under warranty without question).

Would recommend them to anyone.
