I just called Mike in your service dept and he just quoted me 900 bucks... yes NINE hundred dollars for a 30k mile service. That alone pushes me away from getting work done at a dealer.

I got quotes from RSE, DCH Motorsports, Santa Monica Subaru, and they were atleast half of what I was quoted yesterday. Not sure if they were using OEM parts or aftermarkets, I'll call again tomorrow.
