Spaceman Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Not really mate but im sure if you ring up ian greives and speak to one of the guys they will keep you right as they are always on the ball. Greig
martin_allen Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Would depend if it was part of the deal or not. If you specifically asked for a service they would have have done it and stamped the book. If you didn't then chances are it needs a service. 20k can be a fairly costly one too as a lot of fluids need swapping. Worth having a word and seeing what they can do for you. My 60k (which i think is the same more or less as the 20k) was £350+VAT 5t.
burgy_51_ Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 advice? yes, stop speaking text speak on the internet.It takes twice as long to figure out what you are saying, no need. Wits wrong way u 4hero can u not read ya baw bag!!!
Wagon_Mark Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 20k service on my wrx hawkeye was 215 quid from subaru
burgy_51_ Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 20k service on my wrx hawkeye was 215 quid from subaru cheers mate im going 2 phone them and find out about it!
scoobyseller555 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 20k or 2 years,not a major service,the 30k is.The car isn't 2 years old until march 09(or 20k whichever sooner)this is when it would be due its service therefore wouldnt have been done prior to purchase. Gav
martin_allen Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 And there you have it. At least you have a while to wait for the biggie. Never had a problem with Grieves and you will get 10% off as a SIDC member... 5t.
burgy_51_ Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Cheers lads thats the advice i was looking 4 not like that numpty that posted 2nd!!
mystery machine Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Never had a problem with Grieves and you will get 10% off as a SIDC member...EH?! I take it you need fully paid-up SIDC membership for this? (as opposed to free 'type stuff oan the forum' membership as I have). Hope I haven't missed a trick here and let those cheeky bestirds at Grieves fleece me...! (kidding ).
mystery machine Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Burgy - seems fair enough that Grieves wouldn't have serviced it before you bought it, as the service was ~3000 miles away. However, given the premium you pay for going to a main dealer, I'd expect the likes of Grieves to check all their vehicles pretty thoroughly before handover (especially as their salesmen like to labour this point any time they've spoken to me ).
mystery machine Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 P.S. In all seriousness, Grieves have been fine with me thus far. Charlie in servicing is aye very polite and friendly, and Sandy the mechanic has been good enough to take the time to chat about my motor.
mystery machine Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 not like that numpty that posted 2nd!! Go easy on him mate, he did have a fair point (even if he wasn't too subtle with it ). I had to read your first post over a few times before I understood your question. Four lines without any full stops or commas kind of makes my head spin, you know? Don't take this personally, I'm just being honest with you. The clearer you post, the easier it'll be for the folks around here to help you

I was asking 4 a bit of advice,,,,and i get a post like that!!!!!
bobbyc Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Never had a problem with Greives, good bunch of lads working there in sales & service always been very helpful anytime I've had to deal with them.

Hope I haven't missed a trick here and let those cheeky bestirds at Grieves fleece me...! (kidding ). Correct. I joined anyway (always join the owners club with a new car) but as my first service was the cambelt and came to £350 i got my SIDC membership back straightaway. since then i've bought mats etc from Grieves all with discount. Advert over! 5t.
