sh*t !! seriously ???

 

[MarkCup]

Mine was just a normal "12k" service at 24k...£130 from Mike172sport

The 36k last Friday was a b**ch though...£230! How dare they LOL

 

[dk]

i just had mine done Ang last weekend, was £175 (without changing air filter) and I had a brake fluid change for £65

also just had to buy 2 new tyres £150 plus need new brake pads. (and my bloody helmet came through this week for an extra £160 expense!!!)

 

[Ang]

expensive month David....

I know what you mean Chris....it does feel better the more miles i do

My 12k cost me £200 and i provided my own oil....hoping its not going to be more than that

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

it wont be £320! mine was more or les the same as marks. not much is done on the 24k. the 36k cost me 300 quid!

my 48k is going to cost me £240

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Pah. Twenty four schmenty four.

Roll on 118k!

 

[stusV6]

Well from previous posts it seems to depend on where you are the country..............people have been quoted £320 for a service................but if you supply your own oil then that helps eh

Hopefully youll be in rite area where you can get a FAIR price Ang............and mine did include a lot of additional work that I wanted doing.

fingers crossed then

lol at Mervin

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

stus, i cant understand why though mate, thats madness. or is that the cost for your v6?

theres not a lot of work to be done at 24k, look in the manual, you could do most of it yourself.

i want my book stamped though.......if i do it myself they wont stamp it im guessing

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Go to a non-stealership to get it done. Youll get a stamp and pay much less.

oh of course, forgot to say that. an un-necessary evil unfortunately. ill make the f**kers sweat when they have to take my gearbox out in 2 weeks lol.

 

[Ang]

cool !!...you get them back for fleecing me !!

 

[The Bear]

Indeed. Why take it to Renault when its just the basic oil and filters change plus the usual safety checks.

I paid about £100 from an AA approved autocentre (20% off if youre a member) with genuine Renault parts and own oil supplied.

Renault did offer an engine flush as part of their service but it wasnt justified at £220!!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

as soon as my warranty is up im off down to mark fish. he f**king loves the clios

 

[jon_r]

Ang i paid £135 at Crawley Down for the 24k service.

did u supply your own oil aswell ??

im sure i paid through the nose for my 12k

 

[rory182]

I paid £200 when i bought mine for 3 years free servicing, after that Ill not be at a Renault Garage with it and my warranty will be up.

Well worth asking bout service packages when you buy, you can have 3 services for the price of 1

Yeah Chris thats for the Vee......the price for a straight 24,000mile service is £172 all up...............the quoted price for my 24,000mile service including all the extra work was £480...............but that came down to £320..............using various means ie supplying my own oil, hard bargainig etc.

Renault Cardiff have just quoted me £216 inc. VAT for my 172s 24k service. Pah! Time to ring an independent Renault specialist methinks. Watch this space!

Nope just the filter. They discounted a few bits though.

 

[ChrisR]

I paid about £175 in vat for my 36k

Pity I had to get the cambelt done at the same time

 

[rich[182]]

got my 24k soon, gonna do front disks and pads myself and then supply own oil for service, holding off doing mods til after service too just in case they find any extra work that needs doing, front tyres should be good til after xmas though

Want to take mine in for me ??!!.....lol.....they see me coming a mile off

 

[Alex_225]

I paid £200 on my first bloody service!!! That will be Renault Croydon for you.

 

[Ben H]

Right.

I visited a local Renault specialist (ex dealer) today and was quoted £120 + VAT. Probably wasnt quite as cheap as Id been hoping, but I know the garage by reputation - and its better than paying £60 more from Renault.

 

[Ang]

Ive booked my service for next Monday and been quoted £ 230

 

[jon_r]

And everybody thought I was stupid when I took them in beers for doing my CAT quickly!!

Result = £100 off servicing!

 

[Ang]

bugger

this is turning into a very expensive month
