Hi,

Anybody give me an idea of how much a 60 Month Service should be for a 03 WRX. Just been told £630. Guy said it's a big service, fluids, filters, oils, plugs 3-4 hours.

Had belts done at 48 Months and cost £450, so wasn't expecting that quote.

Thanks.

i take it you mean miles not months?

Yes the 60k service (every 30k) is actually bigger than the cam belt service.

it should be something like:

plugs
diff oil
gear oil
engine oil/filter
air filter

etc, basically all the consumables and the oils aren't cheap.

Shop around though, you should be able to get it down to under £500

Should add i had the cambelt done at the main dealer for £300 so you were scamped a bit there too. If you join SIDC most dealer give you at least 10% off so that easy covers the joining fee.

5t.

Thanks for the reply 5t, I did mean months, but that was going on stamps in the service book, the car is due a 60000 mile.

I have a UK Spec import, so it feels like I get scamped every time by the main dealer.

I have recently had the 72 month / 60,000 mile service done with cambelt.
total cost was £400 at central Subaru who came recommended by another member. I would def go back there again as the customer service was very good, cost was reasonable etc etc.
The service was a discount rate due to an offer but even the usual price is cheaper than you were quoted , I think it was still under £500.
I'd be shopping around if I were you

They're having a laugh at £450!! The only things needing changed per Subaru UK 60 month service schedule are engine oil & oil filter as you've already had the timing belt changed - the rest just needs checked. Maybe they're trying to charge you for the timing belt again?? Anyway pay no more than £150. Trouble is Subaru dealers are in a desperate situation - the cars are average, they're too expensive and they're not selling so they need to get their money from somewhere else!! Good advice already given - shop around...

I was talking about the 60 month service but you've listed the items for 72 month service. Do you work for Subaru dealer???

not really, just got a qoute for my 60 month cambelt service and that was coming out at £470. and i'd imagine the tensioner will need doing (£160 apparently) so that'll be a bit of a kick in the *****.

a specialist will save £100 going on the link posted and i'd guess that is down to a lower hourly rate, so the dealer price isn't wrong. dear, but not wrong.

wait till the early diesel owners get to 60k it's supposed to have the dpf changed....a snip at £1100 just for the part

You've missed the point - he's already had the timing belt done on an earlier service.................

not really, your comment was that at £450 for his cambelt change he'd been ripped off. i was just pointing out that the price seemed about right for a main dealer.

vozaks service schedule seems a little mixed up though, maybe that's why we're getting crossed wires?
