Hi,

I have just been quoted £160.69 for a 75,000 mile service on my MY00 UK Turbo 2000 at a main dealer. It is the first service I have had to so since I got the car so I'm not sure whether this is a good price or not?
It seems pretty reasonable to me, included parts, labour & VAT. What are your thoughts?

Cheers
Dean

main dealer.....

hmmm depending on what a 75.000 service is,, if its an interim ie just oil and filter ...

no its a rip off you could do it yourself for 2/3 less

It'll be the 15,000 mile service (7,500 is just the oil & filter change) so sounds pretty fair to me

Means you can save up for the 90k service

ScoobyDean

hmmm yeah Ive heard about the 90k service. Is it rediculously expensive?

I didnt want to service it myself as I wanted to keep the full dealer service history up.

SiPie

90k will be between £400-500

Mine was £3,456.75 but got a new short-block engine at the same time

Let it go Simon

Can't Stefan... still wake up in a cold sweat mate

PS Managed to let the car go .. but that bill sticks in my head as does Colin Nobles reply to my question of Colin's answer

ozzy

I'd feel the same way with a bill that large. Servicing's bad enough as it is

So, what you bought yourself to replace the Scooby? has Kenny managed to sell his as well?

Kenny sold his about a month ago to a dealer in Falkirk and is using the 406 luxo-barge as his daily transport

Meanwhile I've had to settle for a Focus 1.8 zetec (thought I'd get a silver one just to be different .....decent chassis by the way )but it's a temporary measure as I'm getting maried Jan 6th in Auckland and it ain't going to be the cheapest trip I've ever been on

However, the Spec C sub-saving fund is coming along quite nicely

Hope you are well mate

Just had my 90k service today, £688, bargain if you ask me, didn't even get my hands dirty My days of being a greasemonkey are over, if you can afford it then i would keep it to main dealer as i always do looks good when you want to trade it in for a younger model

60'000k service just over at a cost of £500 - I HAD to do this for the warrenty, BUT if i'm out of warrenty - i'd buy subaru parts and do the service myself / recommended garage

How much will it de-value the car if your not going to an official subaru dealer? my guess not too much....

All the best, and start saving now

Correct ... if any difference at all mate...and any specialist will do it cheaper than a main dealer...by a long way
