Mike 6000 per service seems expensive, they must have seen you coming in your pin stripe suit and rolex!

Seriously, £160 for a minor and £200 for an intermediate service.

Not too bad, when they quoted high prices as just threatned to go elsewehere.

Don't be a mug and pay over the odds for something that doesn't need done. I use a small but trustworthy subaru dealer. I avoid large dealerships as they seem to charge too much labour (heard of £120 per hour) and replace parts to maximise their profit margin.

that seems expensive for a car thats over 4yrs old as cotswolds subaru have a sliding labour rate the older the car the less you pay for labour, all the classic owners could be paying around £49ph if your cars about 8 yrs old i can't remember the exact figures but £20ph less and a genuine dealer stamp in the book you can't beat it!
