mmm def Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I paid $489 I think, that was with 2 front tires mounted/balanced. $500 is way too high for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 $500 is ballpark...some will come in lower, some higher think I paid 3 something from our slackers over in leesburg 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnaught Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 thanks for the input - PGT's response is what I needed - confirmation that it is in the right ballpark. and for that much, and I get a free car wash, the tires rotated and some of those great free wiper blades. good thing they just sent me that great $25 off coupon for major service. on the plus side, they will provide a loaner car for the day. I'm sure it will be a 2006 STI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprezawrcblue Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sorry I am a 02 forester S owner, I just paid $388 after 10% off subaru coupon for my 30k. No tax in OREGON. Be sure you go to your local subaru dealer's web site and then click their specials, you might get a 10% off coupon from that web site. That's how i got my coupon.

franklin Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 What exactly do they do for $500? From what I can see I dont get what could cost $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieWan Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 think for my forester it was close to 500 for 30k service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnaught Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 What exactly do they do for $500? From what I can see I dont get what could cost $500. see vacation pics... replace: engine oil + filter (already covered by my service plan) fuel filter brake fluid air filter coolant rotate tires inspect: drive belts, camshaft drive belt, fuel line, cooling system, clutch system, transmission oil, front & rear differential oil, brake pads & disks, parking brake, suspension, axle boots & joints, steering system. seems like most of the cost is tied up in the recommended inspections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 THEY DO NOT REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER - READ IT, LEARN IT, LIVE IT Most dealers just print a generic invoice for a 30,000 mile service that has nothing to do with the car or the mannufacturers recommendations. FWIW, all of those inspections take approximately 10 minutes, $500 is outrageous. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_rex Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 you should be able to do it all for $250 at a reputable mechanic. just get the list from subaru, and have a non gaffe-job shop do it instead. $500 is f*cking highway robbery. they list out "coolant" but they don't flush. they list out "brake fluid" but they don't replace it. all they do is look in the damned reservoir. save your $$, and get the job done right at a real mechanic.

feersum dreadnaught Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 good news, they quoted $500, but I was out the door today for $302. and they did do the radiator flush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundwgn Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 good news, they quoted $500, but I was out the door today for $302. and they did do the radiator flush... I still can't imagine actually paying for the dealer to do "ANYTHING" at all to my car. I wouldn't let them do absolutely anything at all, unless it fell out under warranty, or blatently was defective, even then I would be hesitant. I can do all of that for 1/4 of that cost.

EddieWan Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I've always let the dealer do the work as long as it's under warrenty. Figure that way if anything is wrong they can't blame anyone else or me for faulty maintenance since they do all the work themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "get the list from Subaru" what exactly do you mean? Can I go into a dealership and a get a list of approved mechanics to do the service on my car, or is this something I can get on subaru.com. I just think its weird that Subaru is so quick to recommend mechanics other than their own service department to work on Subaru cars. Thanks for the help though, this interests me.

scubie02 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 or you could be one of the lucky first buyers with the free service coupon's Anybody know if someone else can use the coupon? For instance, if I traded in my car already but still have the 30k mile coupon from the 3 yr 36k mile free maintenance thing, can somebody else use the coupon? It has my name and contract number, but I was under the impression it was just the service coupon booklet you can buy when you buy the car.
