Total newb (also my 2nd post here) with a 2014 XT - wondering how hard it is to learn how to perform some of the items listed on Subaru's 30k service sheet. Morrie's quoted me 382 - which seems pretty reasonable for a dealership price. Thanks for any advice.
Are you referring to the 30,000-mile maintenance that Subaru of America recommends? See here: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/maintenance-2014.html If Morrie's is saying you need to do more than what is listed in the link I provided, they're likely up-selling you on unnecessary service. If you're a total noob, you can still replace your engine oil and filter on your own - very easy. The brake fluid replacement may be a little much, so I would either just have Morrie's do that service or contact JM and get a quote.
Great - thanks - yes it's the 30k "Major Service" Subaru recommends. Thanks ocie and Broco for the tips. So maybe just get a quote from JM on the individual items outlined in the service schedule: oil and filter, cabin filter, engine filter and brake fluid, rotate tires - etc?
Did Morries Minnetonka know that you are an MNSubaru member? They offer discounts on parts and service for members.
At least replace the cabin filter on your own. It's like a $12 filter off Amazon, or a $69 charge from the dealer.
