DavesDream Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi Folks, I'm looking to get a couple things done on my Scooby and wanted to get a rough idea of what I should expect to pay before parting with my hard earned cash! 1.Tyre rotation 2.Oil and filter change 3. Replace and install fuel pump(I have fuel pump) 4. Spray on waxoyl for rust on engine sub frame I've had 2 quotes, one for best part of £ 300, the other closer to £200. Any comments welcome!

HawkeyeLawrence Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It all depends where you go mate- at a main dealer you're looking more than that, backstreet garage that price sounds about right! If you don't mind getting dirty and have a couple of axle stands, you could easily save yourself most of that and do it yourself!

Scoobyghost Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Where are you located? There may some good reputable specialist near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeLawrence Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I'm in Cheltenham, there isn't really any subaru specialist here since powerstation in Tewksbury went out of business... I'm a technician so normally do work to my car myself though! Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesDream Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Hey folks, thanks for tips. I haven't got the facilities to Jack the car up otherwise I would have had a go. I found a workshop in Catford(Rushmore & Hawstead) who changed the fuel pump, rotated tyres and sprayed waxoyl all for £82.50 which I thought was more than reasonable. I did get them to fit 2 new Pirelli Zeros as well which pushed the bill north of £300 though. All in all impressed with efficiency and service and would recommend them and Good Garage Scheme, through which I found the workshop. All ready for remap in January ( hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Glad you got it all sorted. Not a bad price. I do as much as I can myself too. Got wheel ramps and stands always ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeLawrence Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Good to hear you got it sorted!

DavesDream Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 If I was more handy and had the space I'd give it a go. When I move my family into a bigger place I'll get my hands proper dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
