Default Servicing: Are AMC (Chelmsford) taking the mic?

I have a standard WRX SL 56 and must confess to being failry naive when it comes to my weekend bit of fun.
I called AMC (Chelmsford) as Days have disappeared and Wilsons stopped selling Subaru's and was quoted £400+ for a 2yr service, including front pads.
Can anyone recomend any other places to service my car?

2 year service is oil and brake fluid change along with checks. £400 seems excessive.What are they charging for the pads?

That seems excessive.

Follow the linky for a guide as to how much it should cost

Subaru4you - Subaru Service Schedule. We can service your Subaru Impreza, Legacy, Forester, Justy......

Dive into the Essex sub forum on here and say hello - they will put you right on where to go (one way or another )

Forgot to say, they are probably quoting you for a 30K service!

Special Scoobys in Colchester should be a fair bit cheaper too!
