The dealer where I was getting my 2005 Forester XT (2.5 Turbo) serviced closed and the other dealer in town took over as the exclusive Subaru dealership in town. (Las Vegas, NV; Findlay Subaru closed, Subaru of Las Vegas takes over. Seems there wasn't enough business to support two dealerships). I had a lot of faith in the Findlay Subaru dealership, but not sure about this hew one. I called to check on what they recommended for the 30K mile service, Here is the list: oil change tire rotation replacement of air filter replacemnt of spark plugs
Service on; cooling system transmission differentials brake fluid battery
How much of this is "dealer profit" and how much really needs to be done. I have been getting air filter, oil & oil filter every 3500 miles, and tire rotation every 7000 miles. Desert climate is often dusty, summer temps reach 115°F and down to 25°F in the winter. Vehicle is rarely driven for less than 30 minutes at a time. The ususal assortment of stop and go, with several 4-10 hour drives at highway speeds. Absolutely no problems with the car since I drove it out of the dealership. Thanks in advance.
