One was a ripoff. There is no reason to pay more than $400 for a 5 speed and $450(auto) for a 30k.

im about to get the same 30k service done

they want 460$ for this

air filter

Not sure if it is a good deal, but I was just quoted $439.95 for 30k service at Bob Baker Subaru in El Cajon (CA).

What do they do for that service? The price seems fair, but what do you get for it?

Phil.

Stuart Subaru in Yakima Washington is 600 for 30k and 996 for 60k :|

I was told they follow the book.

I opt'd to take it to them because my car's thermostat is reading very high (above the 2nd line before H ) so I want them to look into that as well. Plus, I have some rear strut clunk and I told them about it.

What does the 30k service include? My car is coming close to 30k and I'll need to know what they do so I dont get ripped off...

This is what I do, and is pretty much out of the book(except bottle of 44K)
Oil Change
Rotate and Balance tires
Change Air filter
Change transmission fluid
Change coolant
Change brake fluid
Adjust parking brake
Add bottle of BG 44k fuel treatment in fuel tank
27 pt inspection of vehicle

That service is under $400 for us. You shouldn't be getting anything other than that except an alignment if needed.

thanks for the info!

well, im glad I took it into them because my car is overheating due to a radiator cap not holding pressure. then, during the service they found that the radiator isn't holding the liquid like it should (not necessarily a leak) and since it is still under warranty, they're taking care of it all. I have a hard time wondering what would have happened if I cheaped out and took it somewhere else only to have to eventually take it into the dealership to have it all redone.

so now I get to drive around a 2008 2.5i DGM while it sits there over the weekend.
