48,934 kms young

Took the WRX in for it's 48,000 km service today. The BIG one as it's referred to. That's because it's the most extensive and also of course, the most expensive. I was not looking forward to today in a monetary frame of mind, but glad to get this service done.

When the dust settled it was a whopping $690 expense. Ouch! But it had to be done. Now she's all refreshed with all new fluids everywhere and new filters everywhere, and a few other goodies. I was not shocked at the hourly labor rate, but still a little surprised.. it just keeps going up and up! It was $98/hr and that constituted nearly $350 worth of the service.

Well now I've got another 6,000 kms before I need worry about anything else.
