Driving along enjoying my Scoob....look down at the ODO....TICK 100,000 kms rolls over. I think "thats okay"....time to give the Scoob a birthday methinks. Go into the local dealer....

Gerg: G'day. Book me in for the 100,000 km (60,000 mile) service.

Service Manager: No problems. Its a major service so that'll be $1200 dollars thanks. Plus we replace the cam belt as well at 100,000...thats $250 extra.

Gerg: "VOMIT" Ahh sorry m8...left me wallet at home. I'll be back in a minute.......SLAM.....SCREEEEEEEEECH.

....so here I am, asking is this right? How much does everyone else pay in all the corners of the world? $1450 AUS is like 700 odd pounds or something right?

PS Conversion rates welcome

 

1450 AUS$ is around 525 of our Great British Pounds.

Or 4,169 Botswana Pula

Gerg2, as my Mum keeps saying to me ...

well if you will buy such expensive cars ....

 

I see I may as well have posted this in the muppet forum

 

Don't worry m8, there's still a few of us that are glad to help.

There's been a few posts recently about 60,000mls servicing.

 

Thanks for the help Stefan. Looks like I'm not gonna get away with anything less than around the $1000 mark though if those threads are anything to go by.

 

I'm up for a 30K service next time, so I know how you feel.

Stefan

 

Oh thailor are you talking to me??? How thweet

 

sorry Gerg2,

If it'll make you feel any better ... last service on my car was the 45,000 one and that cost £535 and the only extra appears to be replacing the front brake pads and discs.

Well....knowing you and you knowing us - I was surprised to see you OUT of the Muppet forum mate........

 

"ROLFMAO" just doesnt do your last post justice Dave....coz at the moment I'm pi55ing myself laughing ...

BTW how did you escape...down the same tunnel I did???

 

It's one big tunnel

Looks like you will have to give phoning around the dealers a try Greg.

 

Had the 100,000 miles service done on my MY96 about 8 months ago. Cost me around £600 mark if I remember correctly from Power Engineering...

Obviously at 100,000Km's your warranty has expired so why take it to a main dealer?

I personally would have all the oily bits changed by a local family run garage who do this for the love, but entrust the cambelt change to the Dealer or a Subaru specialist, because you need to know what your doing with these.

Hope this helps.

 

Just had a 60k miles service done on my Legacy RS for around £575. I reckoned that was OK considering it included replacing the timing belt and fan belt, oil air and fuel filters, spark plugs, plus engine gear and axle oils. Parts cost £286, oils cost £72 and labour was £217 (well, Labour has always cost me a lot of money ). False economy to drive a performance car and then skimp on the maintenance .... (IMHO)
