I know this should be in another area but I need a quick reply.
UK Impreza Turbo MY96

Ok, I've been going through my cars history and looking at what needs done! cars at 83K, but at 6 months since lasy service. firstly, people have been saying the 90K service is the big one and costs a small fortune, and say it's the 30k and the 60k together (aparently that justifies the cost) but acording to the manual, everything that is done in a 30k service is done in the 60k service anyway! so from what the manual says, the 30K, 60K and 90K services are essecially the same!
Why all the who har about the 90K being so big and so expensive!!!!
Anyway, since everything has been done on schedule, the only things that need doing are:
Cambelt, Transmission oil/diff oil, Engine oil and air filter!
What do you guys think is a fair price as far as an official subaru dealer doing the servicing is concerned?
I remember speaking to my local dealer a while ago and they said back then, the 90K is basically the 60K + Cambelt and quoted about £450,
Why are they now saying £650-700??????
Help please!
edited to say: As i am replacing the air filter, I was thinking of doing that myself and getting a ITG Performance Panel Filter as a replacement, what are people opinions on this filter?

Find Triton motorsport in Bournemouth. They apparently have bought all Chappelgate Subaru's equipment and have been servicing scoobs for years now. I took my MY99 there and they were about half the dealer price and very good.
Not sure of the number...

check out the power engineering site. They list service rates. They aint cheap and I wouldn't use them again, none-the-less, they should give an idea of the top end of the scale. When I had the 'big' service, I walked away £1400 lighter, and with a tear in my eye!

hi evl,
guess youve just spotted how you get clobbered by the main dealers!!
i am doing the 90k myself, got an independant to change the belt
£170 all in... the oil was done by an independant £27.00
and the other fluids i will do myself over several months..
nowhere near as exspensive as the md!!!!
