HOWY

Just had my (EU) WRX in for its 12month service at a local subaru dealer but they haven't stamped the page for the year 1 bodywork inspection in warranty booklet.

Does it have to be done separately if so how much does it cost?

Howy it's a separate thing. Some folks don't want to have it done (it's charged for) and it doesn't always coincide with the first year mechanical service in mileage terms. Have heard it cost £80 upwards.

It is a separate job to the service and prices vary greatly. I had my 1st year one done but haven't bothered with the 3rd year. When I needed mine I was quoted £125+vat by the 1st dealer I called. £100+vat by the second, but £40+vat by the 3rd. You can guess who got the business. KT Greens in Otley near Leeds were the cheapest for me, but call as many as you can in your area and quote Greens price to see if you can get them to match it.

Mine cost £4.99

HOWY - for info this seems to be a dealer scam - mine was done along with annual service at no extra cost - others seem to charge !

interesting I have just checked the subaru car service schedule form that I got back and it has an entry number "8 Inspect paint and body work damage and report further work required" which has been checked so I wonder if that would suffice for warranty purposes????

to be safe, maybe you should just tell the garage that you'd prefer if they stamped the book as well - since the form confirms that the inspection has been done !!

I've never had it done, because it is an extra cost and seems abit daft on a galvanised car. I did however spend a day last year waxoyling.
I did a rather good job as well.
In fact my dealer said 'no one ever has it done' enough said.
