Subaru Forester

[JackFlash]

I'm planning on getting a 2.5XT but am concerned about the PMS. Since there's only one dealer - MI on EDSA, my questions are:

1. How long does servicing take, i.e. whole day?
2. Once the warranty expires, would you recommend having it serviced elsewhere? Which shops in the Makati area would you recommend?
3. Are parts easy to obtain from aftermarket dealers? Are they reasonably priced?

Thanks!

1. i usually go there at 8am for service, sometimes i'm 1st in line most of the time 4th. they usually finish it around 10-11am, so it takes half day to finish the service.
2. it's up to you if you want it serviced some where else to save money. in makati area orange performance can do all the work for you since their shop specialize in subaru's
3. there are a couple of shops that sells aftermarket parts for subaru's like orange, speedlab, garage one and fusionR. for oem parts fusionR would be the best place to buy or you can always check subaruclub.ph and subarusociety.org for members selling oem parts. MI's oem parts are very over priced.
