Default 3 year service costs???

What's the average price for a 3 year (02 plate) service?? Been quoted £600 by my local main dealer. Am I being turned over?

i take it your car is 3 years old? not 6 years old which gets hit with the double whammy of a fluid change+cambelt?

if just 3 year i paid about £450 (this is on a classic shape, don't know if new shapes are different), if it's the 6 year one then that's about the figure i'm gonna get shafted for

try supplying your own oil,sparkplugs etc to get the cost down (most garages are ok with this) and a performance panel air filter will last ages with a bit of cleaning every now and again so that will knock that one off the list aswell

I've been quoted approx £200 by a Subaru approved garage. Bit different to the £600 by the main dealer!! Is it really worth paying the extra for the main dealer stamp??

Mat Mc - which dealer was this. Best quote from a dealer I've had so far is £411.81 (inc vat and I'll be providing the oil).

Anyone else recommend a good dealer who can beat this price?

I paid £450 last yr, just be sure to check exactly what the dealers are including in the service, they may not be like for like, I made lots of calls before mine, most were the same price, £411 ex the oil sounds about right to me...

Initially Thurlow Nunn which is in Kings Lynn and then I rang the dealer I normally used Donalds of Peterborough. They then matched it. This was for the 30000 mile service.

I thought sod that and chopped it in and got a vRS though!

All the best

Matt

I just paid £540 for a 3 year service and MOT at my local dealer for my '02 STI. That included all the fluids, filters, etc and £42 for the MOT. It's got 25,000 miles on the clock if that makes any difference.

I just paid £414.95 for the 30k 3 year service on my 02 STi at the dealer in Richmond. This was inclusive of all parts and oils. Been told the next service 40k is only about £170ish and the cambelt service is cheaper than the 30k service i just had!
