Default Major service 100k

Hi everyone,

My wrx is coming up for the big service @ 100k. I have spoken to Melville Suby and Xspeed and they have both quoted somewhere around the 1100 mark.

Can anyone recommend who is the best for servicing and what price they ask if there is any difference to the two listed.

Many thanks

TYWRX

Personally, if I were to chose between xspeed or subaru, Id chose Subaru, I wouldnt trust xspeed with my car, not after my friends experience with them.

I paid roughly $1100 for my major service.

Unfortunately this is the price we pay for owning a WRX
Around $1000 sounds about right for the major service.

I paid $1120 for a 100K service including a new water pump (not normally included) from MMS.

Two thumbs up for Jim from Blue Star Mobile Technician... has his own bug eye.. knows what he is doing and will offer a very reasonable price if you mention you are from Perth WRX.. good luck finding ANYWHERE that will do for less than 1k if you plan on having warranty!

More Thumbs up for Jim from Blue Star. Why drop your car off when Jim will come to your house.

He's going to be the cheapest, you can even source your own parts. Timing Belt, Water pump, seals etc.
