Default 60K service

Hi there scooby owners!!

My car is going in for its 60K service but wanted to know what is carried out & what I should expect to pay for this.

At that mileage should I be looking at anything specifically for wear and tear?

What should I expect to pay? Also is better to go to a specialist?

I've got a 97 V4 Type that has had its engine rebuilt in its life.

Thanks in advance

On a 60K service almost everything is changed including all the fluids, cambelt possibly too. Main dealer prices can be between £400 and £600 depending where you go and how much you haggle over price.

I was quoted £415 for the 30,000 mils plus another £185 for the cam belt if i wanted this done.So i would say you would be looking at near £600 than £400 myself.
welcome to scooby ownership.

I mentioned it could be from £400 as recently had a 60K service and cambelt change done at my local Subaru dealer on a MY00 T2000 for that price. Was going to charge £600 but when I mentioned I could get same service done by a Subaru specialist they brought the price down from £600 to £400.

I've got a Type r.

I won't take it to dealer. I've booked it in with Xtreme Scoobies in Essex.
I've been quoted just over £400 for the C service. I've heard nothing but good reports about these guys. The engine was rebuilt about 10k miles ago so it'll be minus the cam belt.

Is circa £400 the standard price for a C service?

I found this on the net for anyone who wants info on the service schedule.

Thanks for your help!

It is frustrating when i read folk with such low mileage, its not a bad thing, im just jealous cause my 97 Uk has 116,500mls on the clock and i only use it at weekends. Most miles were put on by previous owner. How many miles do u guys reckon u cover in a year?

Sorry if im taking over the thread.
