Maintenance quote
Vehicle: Subaru 15 Automatic
I'm at 135,000 km and I've yet to replace my spark plugs, so I thought now would be a good time.. as well as a Transmission flush + differential fluid + brake fluid etc, except I was quoted $403 labour and $90 parts + tax for the spark plug service. I found this interesting considering the dealership lists it at $390 + tax, meaning the dealership would be cheaper? If someone with experience can please look at this and tell me whether any of these are good/bad deals and if I should just do it or look elsewhere, it would be greatly appreciated! They also said "The visual inspection of vehicle components comes with the oil change as a courtesy." Thanks Maintenance Quote: https://prnt.sc/skkdct |

FWIW, my local Subaru dealer charges 400 USD for sparkplugs, but they only charge 500 USD for the full 60K service.
that includes: Engine oil, filter Transmission fluid Rotate tires Rear differential fluid Engine coolant Air filter Brake fluid Pollen filter AND spark plugs Might be worth looking into. |

Well an auto tranny flush is about $200 or so, and oem spark plugs are $25-30 a piece so....
Besides the auto tranny flush, you could do it all yourself....but for $400 for all that it's not a bad idea to let them do it all.

$18 for a napa gold filter. Lol. Dude for that much money, I would buy a nice tool set with jacks and jack stands and do it all my self. If you have a drive way or know of someone who can let you do work on their drive way or garage I would do that.

Minus the spark plugs and auto tranny, those I would pay someone to do them. Only because of my bad back and itchy balls, right @humfrz

If it was ONLY my bad back - I got these elbows, knees, shoulders and hips that just don't like concrete floors. Hell, I have the tools, ramps, jack stands, garage plus the experience and knowledge to do all of those things, but I don't. Why not? Because I'd rather drop my car off at the local shop, have them run me home, I take a nap and they come pick me up when the job is done. OK, OK, so, I'm old and lazy - However, I do have a plan. My FR-S now has about 25,000 miles on it, it is about 7 years old. In 7 more years, when it will be do for that 60,000 mile work, I will be 84 years old, and it will be time to trade the old buggy in. I'm gonna get me one of them level 5, totally self driving cars. Yep, I just get in and tell it where I want to go. It starts itself, backs itself up (that feature sold me) goes and parks itself. When I'm ready, it remembers its way home (another big selling point). Yep, I got a plan - |
