36k service mk2 172

[McBunny]

how much and what gets replaced ?? does the acessory belt get done ?? as renault leeds dont think it does

 

[McBunny]

come on jay

 

[repoman]

I just had a quote for mine, although it is a mark 1 the service menu is vitually the same. they quoted me £549 including the belt change so pretty expensive really. Think I need brake pads as well and these wouldnt have been included.

 

[McBunny]

hum i was quoted 200 lol and by anoher garage 295 and another 305 the first one certainly does not include the belt lol

 

[repoman]

The price i was quoted was from a ranault main dealer, it was roughly £325 for the service then the rest belt and labour, I think the labour for the belt was 2.1 hrswhich is why its so expensive, if you go to an independent renault specialist it will be a lot cheaper, specialist renault services in Nuneaton have quoted me around £220 for the service and belt change, me supplying oil and filter, there is no problem with warranty as they use genuine parts although mine is out of warranty now so saving £300 is a bonus.

 

[McBunny]

right will call the specialist in a minute then

 

[McBunny]

well he wasnt much help either lol he said 250 + vat i then asked about belt he said no then 30 seconds later said yes i mean wtf

 

[repoman]

Who did you ring then??

 

[McBunny]

ren-o-man in york as thats where i live

 

[repoman]

Well i dont know about re-no-man but nick hill recommended me to the guy in nuneaton, bit far for you to go though, if you get it serviced by him make sure he is going to include the belt change in the price.

 

[McBunny]

yeah exactly might just get it done by renault if i can make him say yest tht does include belt as it was only 305

 

[172mgw]

352 in doncaster, but tis main dealer and does include the belt, or so i was told

 

[Neil82]

Dogmaul, how old is your 172?

 

[McBunny]

02 mate cant remember what month why ?

 

[PaulG]

dogmaul, if that is dixons in York they are a bunch of t**ts. My car has been in twice in the last month to have 2 problems fixed, last time it when in it came out with 4 problems needing to be fixed! Nice. Spoke to the manager, got a couple of lame excuses and no apology and was told they wanted the car in for 4 days to fix and would charge me £32 for a courtesy car for the insurance!

 

[McBunny]

yeah i know our mutual hate for dixon york lol

 

[McBunny]

just been quoted 481 for it at dixon york lol its going up

 

[Jawnathan]

Was quoted £310 from the dealer that I got my 1.2 Dynamique from for 36k service, with then an Extra £90 for the front brakes to be done.

Rung a more local renault approved garage, £250 inc brakes done

 

[McBunny]

yeah you 1.2 owners are lucky

 

[tullock1]

A little tip - go and have a quick word with the mechanics at your local renault dealer and ask if any do any fiddle work or after work servicing. The worst they can say is no. I got a quote for a 36k service on my mk1 172 sport from my local dealer and it was £300 + parts on top. A mechanic from the same dealership did it for £90 including parts!!!

Worth a try!!!

 

[Andyman]

On Monday I had the mk1 172s 36k service from a Reno dealer and it cost me £260

 

[McBunny]

crikey good idea but cant get to the mechanics really

 

[LEWY]

240 ALL IN FROM CAMDENS IN MK - NO BELT CHANGE THOUGH -IT SHOULDNT NEED IT

 

[McBunny]

it needs doing so get it done

im getting it done at nuneaton for 220 inc belt
