Just a question, have you ever checked the prices of Lancaster Servicing against someone else?? They were £80 MORE than a dealer not 20 miles away!! Quite a saving! (for the 2 year service)

Hi out there, first time I've used the site. My warrenty is about to run out on my Impreza and i've been offered one year's extra at £348. Should I bother to renew. The car has done 35500 miles

Cheers

pslewis

this will be my problem in 1 years time - I didnt think it was just for 1 year extra?? at that price I wont be bothering!! are you sure its not for 2 years??

Is your dealer Lancaster at Pangbourne??

Pete

stubarru

Yes my dealer is Lancaster of Pangbourne and I wish it was for two years. When I originally bought the car from them I'm sure they said the extra warrenty would last for another three, but I've been through all my paper work and Ican't find anything to back it up.

i think its worth doing with all these stories of juddering clutches and piston slap and bearings going. im thinking of an aftermarket warranty-check this out-WWW.WARRANTYWISE.CO.UK

I thought it was an extension from 3 years (60,000) to 5 years (unlimited), for an extra £500.

stubarru

Where did you get that information from?? That sounds not bad.

stubarru

Which Garage is that? Is it the Subarru dealer in Taplow nr maidenhead? I've only gone back to them as that is where I bought the car and I have always found them very helpful.

Stubarru,
Thats what I was told when I bought mine back in Feb 01 from sales bloke at Ace Kensington. Could have been talking rubish, or they may have moved the goalposts since. It may be worth checking with a number of different dealers, to see if there is any variation in their stories.

stubarru

Will do

Cheers Chris/P1

I think the answer is if you intend to keep the car standard and want european breakdown cover then @ £500 for 2 years it is ok as the breakdown cover will cost £200 of that and £300 for 2 years warranty is ok.

At renewal time, you can get Subaru Assist on it's own for £69 which is very good VFM.

If you are honest chap, the warranty renewal people don't like *any* mods even pads & discs.
