90K service

Why specifically does the dealer want it done just now?

And what specific portion of the 90k service has them so eager to do it?

Or do they just want money because it's a slow week at the shop and the economy is sucking the big one?

The manual it says: 90 months or 90K miles service (whichever comes first).

So *officially* they are right.

But I'm wondering if it's really required just now. When I started servicing the car at that dealership some years ago, they wouldn't pay much attention to the age of the car - but they would only pay attention to mileage of the car. But for last couple years, they started reminding me of service due based on age of the car.

Thanks,

I'd hold off and do it at 90k. Also, after getting burned on a 30k service where dealer did extra things that Subaru did not require, I would pick out the Subaru recommended items and tell dealer to only do them and no extras.

Unless you stop him the service "advisor" will put you down for a "90,000 mile package" that includes a lot of things that aren't in the manual. When questioned, the SA will insist that the additives and whatnot are recommended by Subaru.

Make them stick to only what's in the manual.
