Had the 182 in at an Evans Halshaw Renault garage the other week for the bonnet catch safety recall. Had to get a mate to pick me up as they wouldn't give me a hire car
and waited at work for the 'its ready' phone call. Had a mate drive me in again to pick it up at lunch. All seems well, they've replaced the bonnet mechanism attached to the bonnet. Its now new and shiny
.
However, picking up my keys for the car she gave me a sheet of paper - 'Evans Halshaw Healthcheck'. Which apparently is a quick looksie around the car picking up any problems. Lovely i thought, a free health check.
However, the points their technician has raised are:
• Requires new rear wiper
"Yes, its split about 5mm down the edge. I will replace it."
• Requires new timing and aux belts
"are you sure, I've just had both these replaced about 6 weeks ago at a renault specialist down the road!"
• Requires new brake fluid
"again, you sure? Along with the belts they did a 60k service, oil change and brake fluid change! Levels seem fine, brake feels great to touch and is responsive."
• Coolant Issue (or as the technician wrote 'collent')
"what's the issue then?" 'I've no idea' she replies. "OK."
So, were some of those items just added on for the sake of it or did they actually look faulty/low/worn??? :nono:
