Servicing Fees
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2008 7:36 pm
I got 2 x quotes from Subaru Service Agents via email and the differences are alarming.
1st Quote:
The 125k service is $235
Front disc pads will be $220 to $285 depending on machining rotors or not
Rear disc pads will be $155 to $220 depending on machining rotors or not
2nd Quote:
125,000km Service - 2003 XS Forester - $175
Front & Rear Brake Pad Reline - We do not re-line brake pads. Replacement of the front and rear brake pads will be $200 fitted for standard replacement pads. (Brake Reline was my own terminology - showing my age
)
Both places are in the same suburb and I have dealt with the 1st agency but I wonder what to expect from the 2nd one considering the old phrase: "You get what you pay for" and it took 2 x emails to get a response.
Are Subaru brake pads really as dear as the 1st agency is quoting and is rotor machining $65.00 a pair?
For the first time in my life I am confused as to which way to go.
