Can't you just get your guys at work to do at save some money? I paid $15 to one of the techs and supplied my own filter and got Mobil 1 at cost through work, simple and easy since I am there everyday anyway LOL.

Their clause is "approved shop" has to do it for warranty to be valid. |

I had a chat with my dealership (here in ont) last week about doing my ownoil changes and they were good with that provided I have the receipts from thefilter and oil. I would think that would be hard to argue with if I bought allthe stuff from their parts department.

That being said I typically but in larger quantities rather than enough to do 1 oil change so its a bit more iffy. That being said my last FR-S service was only 60$at the dealership so that isn't as bad as some of the other vehicles I've had in the past.

I got free oil and filter changes FOR LIFE (no joke) luckily, so I've been going with that! All I have to do is drive it there and drop it off.

Previously it was Sherwood park since I bought the car there but my last oil change before I sold the car was @ Stampede and it was ~60$.

Taking mine in for a 20,000 km service next week. Anyone else do this yet? It includes an oil change, but will be close to $500.00. Just an oil change @ Subaru is $92!! They must pay thier techs a higher per hour rate than toyota!
I also have free oil changes for life AND a service credit for a specific amount, but only because I feel they royaly screwed me when I bought the car and ended up having it out with the general manager. This was all they would "do for me" as I felt I was out more to the tune of $8000......but that's a long story, and happened over a year ago now. Do any of you plan to keep taking it in for the "reccomended" service intervals? |

also the oil change at 92 is retarded. I buy oil , filter and crush washer from Subaru for like 54$ and do it myself.

It is definitely a good idea to get the maintenances done (even after the warranty is up), but they don't have to be done at the stealership. For comparison, I had my 20K done (no tire rotation) a while ago at Allmakes, and it was $236 (incl GST, etc.). Oil change with it added another $67. Most services done elsewhere cost roughly half what the stealership will charge, and given my experiences with Subaru, other places will also do a better job.
