Know this will probably get moved soon BUT
Bought my MY00 DBM in december last year . Apart from its first MOT (which is sorted) i need to get its first service as me the owner.It is up to 27k, last one was at 19-20k.Live in Bucks area so need advice on which dealer to take it to.I need a dealer that is both effiecient and not expensive.Any ideas would be welcome and any info of rough costs would be even better.thx in advance

Are you looking for a Subaru dealer or a specialist?

Has the cambelt been done?

Dosent really matter that much.Dealer would be OK, though specialist might have a few pointers as well as other advice.Any suggestions welcome. thing is wife is due in 2 weeks with second kid, so i want to get it done and dusted before then, so time is pressing.

best going to a dealer as you're still in warranty

I know that Adams is a choice but i have little regard for them right now as its a pain to get there, no car to use whilst its having the service etc etc.so again open to suggestions.

Adams are quite good and the scoob comes back sparklingly clean.
I've had ours picked up from home before now and it wasn't ragged (but we lived closer than you). When we've taken it ourselves, we pre-arrange a courtesy car and there isn't usually a problem. They are pretty efficient and go that extra mile for checking problems. Our last service at 30k ish wasn't too expensive. We also had a load of warranty work required (on a my00 last November) so get it checked!

Nice to see someone has the time to answer my questions. Might try them again after your little info.
Its warranty runs out in June so obviously i want to get any defects picked up and sorted before it runs out.
So am i right in saying if i arrange the service and enquire about a courtsey car i should be ok for wheels.
any idea of rough costs and what you had done. Dont feel that you have to go mad on details if you cant be bothered or just email if you have time. appreciate it as i have been bitten badly by a couple of subaru dealers i went to in London (where i work) and dont want to do the same mistake twice.
