Is it worth it??

[Paul.]

Car is due the 36k service and im needing new rear brakes and coilys fitted (or sportlines . . hi alan/ali xx) I DO NOT want any cowboy apprentice from arnold clarks or parks touching the thing. Id like it all done by a specilaist ie Rentech / ktec etc. However is it worth all the travelling and fuel/mileage added to the clock to take it to these people or am i better just asking for an ''experienced'' mechanic to deal with it in one of the above^^ that i have mentioned??


i just cant decide:S

leeds too far? RS tuning?

Wouldnt be having Renault fit coilovers tbh!!!

Leeds would be do-able. i wouldnt be getting reno to fit coilys. theyd do the service and id need to find a seperate garage to fit the coilys, whereas if i went to a specialist they could do both

 

[Gaz_]

Go there, and you may get a spin the the SC beasty!!!

 

[cat171]

Imo travelling to rentech etc will be a complete mission, your looking at about 10 hours or so each way. I'd go with Gaz's suggestion tbh.

I'd get the whole lot done in the specialists tbh.

 

[Peperami]

The service at a specialist isnt always that much better than renault. Definately not travelling from scotland better.

There are good renault/ independant garages out there dude, id find one nearer home

Didnt Ali use a motorsport place in scotland for his old coilies?

 

[Justin]

just make a weekend of it, take the misses away for a night or
two and get it done wherever!

[Paul.]

hhmm cat your right 10hour journet seems extreme Id love the car to be at one of these specialists though.

justin. the mrs has a trackday booked down south between march and november so that could actuallt be a plan. killing two birds with one stone n all that

 

[Big Iain]

Kenny brown in Hillington for your collies including corner weighted.

Servicing I would Just get reno to do it they aint all numpties just most of them. Would be nice to have the likes of Rentec close by but they aint so....

 

[Kiev85]

no disrespect to rentec...

option 1 - serviced by a specialist who knows what theyre doin and knows renault sports.

option 2 - serviced at arnold clark/parks by people who tell me over the phone that 1. You dont get the 182 in yellow:S 2. It doesnt need any belt changes yet:S


its a tough 1.




Ali you seem like a difficult guy to please so to hear you say Falklands is encouraging. ill give them a bell 2mora

[AlexS]

Its worth bearing in mind that most dealers will price match a specialist providing that both services are like for like.
