Dealer Servicing!!!
Thought I'd give the dealer the benefit of the doubt with the 1 year service on my 55 wrx. Not bad price £240 for the lot which included the body work inspection. Everything seemed sound until I got home. 
Thought I'd give her a quick wash, to get all the mechanics gruppy paw prints off the wheels etc. Bloody silver overspray over the near side passengers door. Just felt the coarseness through the sponge. Now it's as dull as big brother!!
Will phone them tomorrow to get sorted.
Is there anything I can do to remove this if they start their denial crap? The bodywork has been paint protected with "tough seal" and I don't really want to pay to have it reapplied again.
Cheers
Neil

And did you provide your own oil?
sorry for all the questions but my WRX is due for its 10,000 mile service and i am going to have to start choosing between dealers in the Harlow area or possible go out to Haddocks?

I think what Neil is saying is he paid £240 for the 10,000 miile service PLUS the 1st year Body Service, which would be about right in price. 
God knows how they got Silver Overspray on the car though!

1yr body service is £45 at KT Greens, Leeds. Oil change is £85 at Scoobyclinic IIRC, maybe another £25 for a check and top-up of everything else.

Go to Foresters in the West Midlands.
www.foresterspares.co.uk
Ivan & Julie Top People.
Got a 20,000 mile Service there, changed the plugs ( which is not on the Subaru Schedule)
Irridium Plugs that. Full Oil & Petrol treatment £135 Ex VAT.
Ivan knows his way around Scoobys big time & they sponsor Norman the Rally Driver.
Will not rip you off, sound people.
KInd regards

Cheers for the comments guys. I'll definetely shop around for the next service.
Cost was £193 inc for the service and £53 for the body inspection plus underseal.
Underseal over sprayed on the door woz FOC
It came of with polish and a bit of elbow grease
