ChrisD Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 hello all, I have a 2003 Impreza blob with 35K genuine miles on, as I have just purchased this car I want to give it a good service before i run it. I have found a good Subaru garage to do a Full service at £380 (with a bit of spare fluid for top ups), Full Cambelt Kit change at £380, Alignment and balance of all 4 wheels at £80 it seems to have had its engine oil changed often and has had its 10, 20 and 30K small services. my understanding is more due to the age of the car that this work is needed. does all this sound right and do the prices look right? Kind regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_gr7 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 those two are spot on mate, i go well out of my way to visit those guys. Been there three times now and i wouldnt go anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 They seem to be highly recommended, some other small garage who work on subaru's just quoted me £550 for the lot, but i still think i would rather have these guys do it for the extra, just for the security and quality of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I paid the same for a major service & Cambelt as you've been quoted from them in 2013. Did the smaller garage quote to replace all the cambet parts ? Those alone add up to over 150 if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 I asked for a cam belt kit change, I think the fact they Quoted so low with little explanation actually put me of, made me think they can't be offering the same work at the same quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yep same they quoted me their both spot on mate I couldn't recommend them more. Did my clutch too. I drive over 200miles there and back to have work done by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
