Default Good price for service?

Hi all

Purchased a 03 WRX STi with PPP last week that was due a 5 year/50k service (currently on 45k).

Taking it to local dealer tomorrow after being quoted £380 for service inc cambelt change and extra £140 if tensioner needs replacing.

Does this sound about right? Noticed some people on here mentioning £250 all in but for the older scooby's so wondered if anyone with blobeye sti had similar service done and how much it was?

thanks
James

ouch! How long ago was that?

Suppose that does indicate that price quoted isnt the most expensive!

That was about 3 years ago, on an MY00, robbing barstewards!

Still they lose out in the long run as I've not been back. I now go to Special Scoobies, who IIRC said they would have charged about £450 for the same service.
