1000 Mile Service?
First off apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything related to it.
Well after running in my car its got to go back to the dealer for its 1000 mile service. Now I was told by the dealer that this would be a 'free' service when I brought the car, however now that I have booked it in I'm being told that everything is chargeable on it. I 've had a look around and there doesn't seem to be anything on Subaru's official website covering this.
Can anyone shed some light on the official line on this. Its a WRX 300 if that makes any difference.

Not completely free as they lead you to believe!

Mine was totally free. Was supposedly done when I had the PPP fitted.
They never stamped the log book (only noticed a couple months ago) so they might not even have done it.

Thanks for the replies it looks like they are taking the **** to be frank and trying to charge for everything. I feel an arguement is brewing tomorrow when I collect it.

Yes I have and yes I did post in the other thread about optional PPP. Mind you its a nightmare talking to people about the car:
Me: Its a WRX 300
Them: Oh a WRX UK300?
Me: No just a 300
Them: A 300 what's that.
Me: (Pointing) One of those.

Had my free 1000 mile service done last week - now about £50 lighter - seems they forget to tell you you have to pay for the materials - thought i would get 10% discount with SIDC membership - that didnt applied to the Oil which was most of the cost - save myself 54p in the end though .....

Some dealers do have restrictions on the discount but I am not aware of THAT restriction
