First off apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything related to it.

Well after running in my car its got to go back to the dealer for its 1000 mile service. Now I was told by the dealer that this would be a 'free' service when I brought the car, however now that I have booked it in I'm being told that everything is chargeable on it. I 've had a look around and there doesn't seem to be anything on Subaru's official website covering this.

Can anyone shed some light on the official line on this. Its a WRX 300 if that makes any difference.

 

If I remember rightly, when mine was done, the labour was free but I was charged for the materials. I think! Not completely free as they lead you to believe!

 

I think it was about £50 -£60

 

They SHOULD charge you about £70 for the oil and the filter used.

I think that the labour used to be free, leaving just the parts chargeable.

I'm sure someone will correct me if it's changed!

 

Mine was totally free. Was supposedly done when I had the PPP fitted.
They never stamped the log book (only noticed a couple months ago) so they might not even have done it.

 

When i bought my classic it was supposed to have full history but the last 2 service stamps were missing - i phoned the subaru garage down in Worcester where previous services were done and they confirmed they had been done by their computer records - sent book away and they stamped it up to date for me. Get on to the garage they prob just forgot.

 

Thanks for the replies it looks like they are taking the **** to be frank and trying to charge for everything. I feel an arguement is brewing tomorrow when I collect it.

 

WRX 300 also.

Deffo free labour but charge for the oil & filter.

Give em hell !!

Just to double check on something, you have got the one Prodrive exhaust at the back already haven't you, not the 2 singles...?

 

Yes I have and yes I did post in the other thread about optional PPP. Mind you its a nightmare talking to people about the car:

Me: Its a WRX 300
Them: Oh a WRX UK300?
Me: No just a 300
Them: A 300 what's that.
Me: (Pointing) One of those.

 

Cool thank god for that then My faith is restored

 

Had my free 1000 mile service done last week - now about £50 lighter - seems they forget to tell you you have to pay for the materials - thought i would get 10% discount with SIDC membership - that didnt applied to the Oil which was most of the cost - save myself 54p in the end though .....

 

Labour is free, parts are chargeable.

 

My 56 plate was done today. £76.00 the lighter for oil and filter, they did reset teh ECU and adjust the handbrake.

 

£42 ish for mine was done October / November time, labour is free as it says in the book

 

WRX 300 also with PPP, mine cost just over £40 all in.

 

mine cost me £45 keith price abergavenny £70 eleswhere

 

i had mine done 3 weeks i was just charged for parts think it was about £45 but they told me that when i bought the car

 

What dealer told you that?

Some dealers do have restrictions on the discount but I am not aware of THAT restriction
