12k Service Cost

[fizzy_drink]

Ok, just had my 182 12k serviced today.... 166 squid.

I was charged 25 excluding VAT for 5 litres of Magnatec 10w40 (clio needs 4.8 litres).

Halfords & B&Q sell it for 21 squid including vat! The garage buy bulk oil in a drum.... Ive heard of making a profit, but this takes the P***.

Whats everyone else been paying for their servicing... ?

£168 I feel robbed and want my £2 back!

I paid £161 for the 12K service on my 172 and £26 for the oil, it annoyed me also i hate having to get it serviced by someone else.

you all got bummed !

find yourself a local trusted garage, would have done the service for probably half that !.......even using quality oil and genuine/good quality parts

 

[Pete]

Then I want my £7 back fecking robbing b******s!

Yeah complete piss take, just having to pay for a rubber stamp.

Interestingly, I got a 1L top up kit included (which I feel is necessary for any car).... and a mini spray lube (similar to WD40) (not sure what on earth for)...

Maybe theyre trying to offset those costs....?

yeh thats fine but we also got warranties, and we need the renault stamp

 

[BRUN]

your warranty still stands as long as they use genuine parts, i believe

dont quote me on that though

Anyone know where I can buy my own stamp?!

Thats how its meant to be, but if Ive got to pay someone else to service it for the rubber stamp Id rather do it at a renault dealer to avoid any future hastles.
