If it's out of warranty forget Renault... especially Camden!!! Local garage will do. Just had my 2nd service and MOT today.... cost me £90. Bargain

Oil change... check fluid levels...check brakes...filter change... nothing else to do is there??

and get them to stamp the book... sorted!!

Agree, I wouldnt take it to Renault if it was in warranty, some dealers have very little knowledge about the cars and the service is poor. I would take it to an independent dealer you trust ensure they use Renault parts, you will probably get a better job done and save yourself a fair bit in the process

if its out of warranty then dont really matter. £150 for 36K service at renault is a bargain though, especially as the aux belt needs changing too.


(edit, you ahve a 1.2 16V cant remember whats needed on 36K)

36k for a 1.2 isn't that much work its a minor service.
£150 is a good price though.

You don't need Renault for only an oil change.

Either do it yourself or go to a reputable independant. At least you can supply them with the CORRECT oil and all you'll need to keep your warranty is an OE filter... £7ish i think. Shouldn't be any more than £35 all in.

Last time I had dealings with my local jokers I was told £69/hr labour!!! you can forget that...

and when it's cambelt time there are plenty of tuners on here that would get my business.

Thanks Matt

P.S Everyone have a Happy Christmas
