That would be a concern for a saving of $100?

The cost of a particular service also depends on the schedule, the model and the year.
The older shedule has a big service at 50,000km and a bigger one at 100,000km.
The newer schedule breaks the big service out to the 112,500 and the 125,000km.
I'm curious as to how a cambelt is only good for 100,000km for a 2004 model but can safely go 125,000km on a 2008????
There's also a tensioner and several idlers that may or may not need changing.

Some cars get platinum spark plugs that can be anything up to $32 each, others get copper plugs @ $4.50 each.
Automatic cars cost more than manuals on certain services too.
Cars with oiled re-usable air filters cost a little more than a throw away paper filter.

Not really. There is no way subaru can deny a warrenty on a standard car with regular logbook servicing with genuine parts if done by another registered workshop.

I got my 08 RS serviced by subaru, and the twits tightened the handbrake so much that half way to work after a little heating, it was on with the handle fully in.

Then the bloke at one of the tyre shops said my brake pads were nearly dead and I was in danger of damaging the disc. - I told him not to replace it, had a look myself and they were fine

Can't stand numpties working on my car .... and trying to rip me off !

rookies!

I bought my 05 seond hand from Subaru Osborne Park and get it serviced every 6 months with them. No real complaints, bit pricey but it keeps my premium AHG warranty valid so can't complain!

Plus they do a good job of cleaning my car and making it smell nice each time!
