I placed a post the other day asking for advice on a suitable Subaru garage for a 60k service (inc cambelt) + brake fluid change on my 2004 Legacy. Having got a number of quotes, I've now booked the car into Bulldog Twyford, who are franchised dealers. They've quoted £384 fully inc + £18 for brake fluid. They're offering 10% discount on parts + oils, plus £10 per hr discount on labour on all cars over 3 yrs old. Seems a good deal to me, and in fact, they're cheaper than any of the independent dealers I contacted.

Agreed, sounds like a fair price

Got to be said, I have used Bulldog for the last two years for servicing and other work and always been impressed with both the service and prices

Thats a fair price. What oil do they use for that price?

I've used Bulldog for nearly five years now since I had the bugeye. Nice people and whilst I wouldn't call it cheap, I can usually get a bit off - once I'd agreed the price they then agreed I could have the fully synthetic oil instead of the semi stuff. If you don't ask....... Have been tempted to try Subaru4You who have a fantastic reputation also, but it's not very convenient - might do if and when I start replacing standard bits with mod bits.

I very nearly booked with Subaru4you because of their reputation, but they're not particularly convenient for me, although I could just there while they did the work. With Bulldog I can just leave the car with them and get the train into work. Maybe I'll try Subaru4you in future for a smaller srevice.

Some dealers are doing fixed price servicing at the mo..

Just had mine done at Keith Price Subaru Crickhowel..Fixed Price £400 for the 5 year service inc. Cambelt..

A good deal specially as it's a main dealer, courtesy car provided too!

Obviously a good time to get a service done and it's obvious why Subaru dealers come out so well in the annual JD Power survey. But why do Subaru have such a poor reputation for the servicing costs? We used to run a Passat estate and the local VW dealer quoted £495 for a cambelt change and that was about 3 years ago!

A five year service on a new age at £400 seems a tad expensive to me. Had mine done at subaru4you . co . uk in Newbury for £328 inc vat. Fully Synthetic oil too.

Oops...they are only a ten minute walk from the train station too

I went to Bulldog Twyford and am very happy with the service I received. Unfortunately, the cambelt tensioner had to be replaced, so the cost was a little higher than anticipated. However, the service was very good with excellent communication from Graham & Kelvin in the Service Dept.

Highly recommended.
