i go to albany ford subaru. bought my car from em. They are decently nice people. Lazy as hell, but nice. 230 isn't that bad.
I hope you don't have a bunch of mods. they usually hate that.

Soundwave...where did you get that list...whatever stealership it is missed the fuel filter @ 15k, and is ripping you off changing the diff and tranny fluids @ 15k.

The only worthwhile things that are SERVICE @ 15k are air and fuel filters. The parts cost is <$40...cheaper at www.subaruparts.com

It's easy, I'll help if you want...we can have a "save everyone some money party"...and you can all buy me beer.

don't waste your money on the 15k, it's an oil change and fuel filter.

for the 30k, get the list and do what you can yourself and take it to an independent place and get the rest done. my 30k cost me $130 total, parts and labor.

no joke...I went in for my oil change and the guys like hey your due for your 15k I says ok sure how much. He says $307. I was like...what the F do you do to my car for that much money?

So I had them do it but not do some of the stuff that any idiot with an IQ over 40 can do......still cost my $180.

And get this....$43 to rotate my tires. I will never let them rotate my tires again. That is rediculous. I can do that my damn self for $43.

Geese I can't wait for the 30k.

Just dropped off my wagon at Carlsen subaru for the 30k this morning. $569 + $45 for synthetic oil (I forgot to bring my fluids - damn!)

Based on what others have said about Carlsen, I asked for and they said they'll have Kevin work on it for me.

gino....why is it different if you have the extended "****"?

I have the 100k warranty but I'd love to get my 30k done by you guys. figure as long as I have the whole signed and dated type a deal I'd be ok. hmmmmm.

Yeah cause at $570 for a 30k I'll be doing it by next summer and that is some serious coin.
