Vehicle servicing?

Hey guys, who do you use for servicing?

I use Tom KERR in North Ryde and they seem ok.

I am getting my 85k service done and I think it's about $250 which is a right ripoff.

They stated it would be about $1350 for the 100k service. Has anyone else had the 100k service, and where did you get it done at what prices?

I am thinking of using Paul Fisher at Pulse Racing, as he is the Subaru man in the know. I think adam has used him before.

I just think $1350 is a bit much for a 100k service, especially when it's the apprentices that work on the car anyways, not an expert.

*********UPDATE***************
Just spoke to Paul from Pulse Racing, what a champion.
He spent 20 mins explaining what problems the car has with fuel economy etc, and state he will have a look at the OEM ECU and see where we can get it to run better. He states he can modify the stock ECU etc.

He said it was $990 for the 100k service which includes belts and everything, thats $400 cheaper than Subaru!!

So I booked in for Thursday 27th, so anyone can come and greet me if they are bored :lol:

Ta guys in advance

I've heard of pulse before, with some decent feedback.

Menai isn't a bit out of the way? but then again.. for $400 difference, it would be worth it..

Subaru's 100k service for all turbo models have always been around the $1250 to $1400 - thats what i was quoted almost 5years back!!!

But as you found, most other places will do it for around a grand but will use non subaru parts.

I had the 100,00km service done in June at Subaru Penrith, (the car had around 72,000km on it). Service cost $1545 including the injector service. They said it had a large build up of carbon.
