Default Service!

Time for the 10k service soon. Thus far, my services have been done by Subaru (or so the logbooks suggest), would it be better to continue the trend or look elsewhere? Ive heard of some shocking prices being charged by major dealerships. I do my own service every 5000k's but i'd like to keep my logbook updated with the regular intervals, what would you guys recomend?

Alex if you know how to do your own service do it yourself.. with a car thats done only 10.000km you will not find much wrong with it ......you don't lose your warranty if you don't take it to subaru. As long as you put the right grade oil, you have no problems..

if i understand you correctly, you're saying we can service our cars ourselves as long as we know how and the best part is we don't lose our warranty because Subaru trust us to know what we're doing (servicing a near new 10,000km car).

if that's what ur saying.............. you're an idiot

Alex, get Andy to service your car and RMS to stamp the service log book since you work there anyway
