What's My Chances


Recommended Posts

Get the violins at the ready, sob story on its way...

Bought my WRX back in October 2006. It came from a Subaru dealer and had not long had its 2nd service. When i bought it there was either no discussion or the salesperson said it was not with the car of there being the 3years /36k free servicing. Now I understand this offer continues on with the car. Happened to be looking through the service book and there is a note of 3 years free servicing. Had I noticed this back in September 2007 when it had its 3 years service (different Subaru dealer) I'd have brought it up, but not thinking I had the free cover I paid for the work - and the 3 year one ain't cheap.

Chances on me getting any / all of this money back ?

Couldn't get anyone from Subaru on the phone today, will try again tomorrow.

Anyone had similar situation ?

My guess... ZERO! But good luck to you, and I hope you get it. Just out of curiosity, much was the 3 year one?

Will try anyway, feel misled to what I should have been entitled too, as it is £400 (answers your question too).

John they replace-

Oil

Oil Filter

Fuel Filter

Air Filter

Spark Plugs

Gearbox Oil

Front and Rear Diff Oil

and inspect everything else.

I'm due my 3 year service in September, only done 15k so far! :rotfl:

Man that's a lot of cash for a little work! Anyway, I don't need the airfilter, the plugs, or the gearbox oil :rotfl: and I have 5ltrs of 15w50 Mobil 1 Fully synthetic, so that'll save me a bit. maybe...

Thnaks for the heads up

Well after numerous weeks of discussions and loaddddds of calls with Subaru and Ian Grieve's have finally managed to get resolution. Get some of the money back and a discounted next service which I'm fine with. There's reasons for this conclusion but I'll not bore you with all the details.

Main reason for digging out this old post is : Credit given where credits due to Ian Grieve's for being so decent & helpful and sticking with me on this.

Don't get if you don't ask !
