What about the cost of a 15,000 mile service then??

The one year one

Does £180 seem fair?? I have looked and it seems much like the 7,500 mile one!! and, NO, the plugs are NOT replaced at this service!

Cool

Pete,

Had my RB5WR serviced by Day's of Chelmsford 2 weeks ago. They carried out the 18 month service, car only done 13k, and charged me £96.99

Yex - thats good - but what you had done was effectively the 22,500 service as it was 18 months. So, yours was the same as the 7500 mile one - and yes £100 seems to be the going figure for that one.

So, Cullenj - you should be quoted about £100 which you have been - of course the dicount never is real (in reality it just reduces it to the price it SHOULD be anyway )

No-one has yet come up with the Annual cost of the 15,000 mile service??? Is £180 fair?

And what about the Subaru £7:50 for a touch-up paint stick rip-off?????

Annual service (15k) cost me 242 quid, but that was including a new air filter (Ramair panel, recommended by dealer as a prodrive part), and new pollen filters. Take those two off and it's around 170 quid inc.

My car went into Millway Cars in Wilton today, and came out 4hrs later having had the 15k service and the body thingy done, It cost £293 all-in. Which I didn't think was too bad, even though they do charge £49.50 per hour!

Pete,
I think I paid about £140 at Mill Lane Basingstoke. Give them a ring as they seem to be not far from you. Top guys, best prices in the area!
Good luck,
Andrei
