Taken my car for its first service in my possession at the weekend, went for a 'pre-op' just to see what the damage will be. Its a 96 uk turbo and I went to Chandlers in Horncastle.

Quoted me approx £500;

that includes the Crank Shaft Seals replacing due to the smell of oil in the Cockpit - £200

Anti Roll Bush on Drivers side replacing due to knocking - £70

Possible replacement of the back brake pads and disks skim - £70ish

Subaru immediate service cost - £120

Does that seem quite good? I suppose its a reasonable amount of work to be done? Any thoughts?

To be honest it might not be a bad idea to see a Subaru dealer for your 1st service, but after that I'd try to find a really good Subaru enthusiast who should be cheaper, Im sure people on here can advise someone in your area.

Sounds ok to me.. I paid that alone for the replacement of the rear crank seal on my old 97 Turbo..

Sounds okay - if they're changing the crankshaft oil seal it might be worth getting them to replace the timing belt at the same time IMHO

that does seem steep is there know specialists in the area usually whatever charge you can save at least £100 at a specialist
