View Full Version : approximate cost of a dealer 30k service? NOTimprezed 09-02-2005, 02:40 PM I'm going to do it myself, of course... but was just wondering if anyone paid the dealer for it and knows how much it was? I'm planning on changing mobil 1 + pure one engine & cabin filter iridium plugs coolant fuel filter brake fluid my cost looks around 150ish Snoop 09-02-2005, 02:45 PM My dealership charges $800+ dollars for their 30k service. This is higher than anything else I"ve seen (I've seen mostly between $300-500). Rediculous! shale2k 09-02-2005, 04:01 PM Just did mine yesterday. $417 in Central OH(buyers subaru) dcwrx2 09-02-2005, 07:25 PM My dealership charges $800+ dollars for their 30k service. This is higher than anything else I"ve seen (I've seen mostly between $300-500). Rediculous!If they quote you $800+ for ANY major maintenance service (no matter it is 30k, 60k, 90k, etc), say "No, thanks" to them. leecea 09-03-2005, 11:36 AM I'm going to do it myself, of course... but was just wondering if anyone paid the dealer for it and knows how much it was?

NOTimprezed 09-03-2005, 02:10 PM thanks for all your inputs. i believe the plugs at 30k is indicated as replace in the maintenance schedule. dcwrx2 09-03-2005, 02:26 PM thanks for all your inputs. i believe the plugs at 30k is indicated as replace in the maintenance schedule.I checked the owner's manual, plugs change at 30k is for STi, plugs change at 60k is for WRX. Mulder 09-03-2005, 03:30 PM Dealers always like to add their own "menu" of unnecessary services to boost their profit. If you choose to have a dealer perform the service for you, bring the service schedule from the manual with you, or print it out from the Subaru website, and insist on ONLY the services recommended by Subaru at that particular mileage. Don't let them talk you into other stuff like fuel system cleaning, oil flush etc. that you do not need and that is not recommended anywhere by the manufacturer. If the price quoted is still too high even with the correct services being done, take it to an independent shop or consider doing some or all of the work yourself. stuewe 09-03-2005, 06:31 PM mine was $440.00 and then I had a 10% off coupon. There was a lot of other stuff on there I should have complained about, but i woosed out. Stupid Stupid Stupid. I should've gotten another 30 bucks off of that. |
