Default 70,000 service

Hi All,

My WRX is due for the 70,000 service. From checking the service book - this is going to be an expensive one

Since the last 2 service stamps wasn't done at Subaru, I am not sure if I should take it to Subaru to get it done...

From searching this sites and varies Scooby sites, should I take it back to Subaru for this service £400 or would it be cheaper to get all the parts seperately and service it some where else?

If option 2 - would Subaru parts be cheaper at the Stealer or else where?

Im new to Scooby, having changed from Honda Integra, where I normally buy all the parts I wanted (better than OEM parts) and get it service at a known Honda specialist...

Any thoughs welcome...

Regards,

JOE

Go independant and find a specialist. You'll save some pennies for mods and your car will be pampered by someone who cares for the breed.....

Yep - 70k service is about £180 from a dealer and probably nearer £100 from a decent specialist - where are you based? Let us know and I'm sure you'll get some recommendations.

The last stamp on the service book was done at 61,000 and they stamped it in the 70,000 service box. However, that was just a standard (basic) service at a Renault garage??

I posted my 1st post re gong to view a WRX and an other member sent me a link to scoobyclinic : http://redirectingat.com/?id=42X123&...hedule_new.pdf the 70,000 service looks like a BIG service or could it be an overkill and not needed at all?

Sorry still new to scooby....

Oh I am based in Surrey within the M25
