30K service
My dad took his scoob in for a 30K service at Quenbys in Baldock.
The guy said it was a major service.
So guess how much it came to?.......................Nope.................... ................................................
.................................................. ................Still wrong............................................. ........................Try £421.08
And you look at what was done
Oil filter
Gasket Drain
Engine Oil
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
Gear Oil
Diff Oil
Anti freeze
Enviromental Charge (disposing of the filters and oils)
Next service thay said he needs new brake pads

About right I phoned around loads of dealers in the midlands and mine was £430 about 2 months ago.
Next one is only a minor (oil,filter) so should be much cheaper.
Remember just take their advice on things like brake pads and then get them done at a local garage charging £35/hr labour.

My 30k service a couple of months ago was about £430 so price seems to be pretty consistent. I always take it to beechdale in derby.
Had the 40k service this week, including rear pads it cost £350, the rear pads were about £50 plus fitting.
The front pads I always change myself, they last about 15k on average. Cost £101 from main dealer and I normally do them with a mate at work in my dinner hour.

seems reasonable, i got charged nearly £900 for my first 30k service since i owned it when it reached 90k a year or so ago.
Had a few other bits that needed changing too and it cost me a bloody fortune, and it was 2 weeks before christmas.
Dread to think how much servicing and things have cost me in the 3 years that i have had it.
before anyways says i got ripped off it was originally £450 for the 30k service, just had coil packs, head gasket and a few other bits changed.
at least the next big one isnt for 20k. still wont sell it though.

Just booked mine in for its 30k service with Dennis Commom Subaru, was only £370, but he said it would be cheaper as i have a green free flow panelfilter which knocks 30 quid or so off my bill.
cars only got 26k on it but the previous owner always got it done early so now its due at 26k....MINT! suppose it looks good on the history

Just had mine done 2 weeks ago.
52 plate sti uk
30 k service (only done 22k though)
£470 !
Expected it though sadly.
Needs 4 new tyres now too!
Pirelli's all round for £420 fitted, is this a good deal?
Sorry to steal the thread.

£420 for Pirelli's, depend what size your wheels are, Im thinking of Toyo Proxes for my 18's and looking at paying £400.
