Default 60K mile service - cost?

My 60K mile service is fast approaching - what sort of price am I looking at? I assume although it's a 51 sports (non turbo) pricing will be similar to the turbo as the same things are changed (sparks, fluids, etc).

Anyone had one done recently?

Cheers Howie

I've had a service done recent on my MY2000 T2000 by a Subaru main dealer. Cost was £400 including cambelt change so for a sport model would assume this cost would be somewhat less.

It had the Cambelt done last service, so hopefully will be a lot less . (I believe it was owned by a small business so all the servicing is up to date - running a couple of thousands miles ahead actually as it was serviced so regularly)

Pete, that sounds bit on the steep side to me. Initial price I had from my my local Subaru main dealer was £600 then after I mentioned what a Subaru specialist was going to charge they brought the price down to £400.

Mine cost £220, carried out by a Subaru specialist. Didn't include cambelt as that was done at the last service.

I had the 60,000 service done on my 01 WRX last week. Cost £310 including the vat from my local Subaru dealer in Falkirk.

That didn't include a belt change as this was done at the 50,000 mile service.

A mate of a mate has just opened his own garage. £145 all in plus I can trust him as he really knows his stuff, has done imprezas before and he's a mate

Happy days
