Question 30k service in Marin?

Hello everyone,

I recently moved up to San Rafael from Texas this summer. My MY04 WRX just tripped 30k and I'm wondering about the 30k service. Subaru of Marin quoted me $595 for the service, which seems awful high. Can anyone recommend any other places nearby that might offer a better deal?

I'm really looking for any advice short of "do it yourself", as I have neither the knowledge or the equipment. Thanks!

Go to LIC Motorsports in Novato, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Noah and Adam are great guys who will take care of your car, and they do 30/60/90K maintenance at significantly lower prices than the dealerships: http://www.licmotorsports.com/306090k.htm

If you're the DIY type, also check out www.bayareamotorclub.com in the city.

$595 is pretty typical for the dealer 30K. The 60K can be upwards of $650.

$595 sounds very high to me, definitely search around before you commit to that. I actually have my '02 WRX in for it's 30K service right now at Subaru of Dallas, their list price is $399.99 for the 30K. And the service dept. at SoD is very cool, getting a discount for being a Nasioc or I-Club member is very common. You should have stayed in Texas. ) j/k
