The best, and only, service manual to have is the factory one. For the late model Subarus it's your only option, the aftermarket isn't producing them yet so no Haynes or Chilton.
You can download the factory manuals from the Subaru tech site, here-

$34.95 for a 72-hour subscription, up to 20 files per hour.

It only cost me 50 bucks to change the plugs out 40 for labor and 10 for the plugs. Just take your car in to a trusted shop in your area except the dealership.
