Cheers fella gonna ring them now and give them some sh*t.
how much u looking at saving if u supply ur own oil
Well, youve got a quote for a service with oil, ring and ask?
sod it, just gona pay it
Got a quote from Renault dealer in Coventry for my first 12000mile service which was £260!!
Found out that providing you use Renault parts you can get it done at any VAT registered garage and still keep your warrenty (checked this with Renault UK)
So I bought air filter and oil filter from the dealer kept the receipts they also sold me 5 litres of elf 5w40 oil for about £20. Then paid my local garage £80 to do the service. Total cost was about £120.

air filter for 172/172 is £15 + vat according to my 24k service invoice last week
cost me £144 inc vat, i supplied oil which cost me £33 for 5l shell helix ultra 5w-40
I know you kind of have to take it to Renault and FRSH is better than FSH, but those prices are a complete joke, to change the oil+filter and air filter for nearly £200?!? Its ridiculous! If it was somewhere like BMW where they do proper inspections, trained technicians etc, I just get the feeling that at Renault they are a bunch of muppets who deal with boring meganes, scenics all day and who dont give a toss about what they are doing or dont completely understand the Clio 172 and its complexities.
I would not trust Renault, find a decent independant garage who you trust are not going to rip you off and also have the relevant expertise to deal with the Clio 172.
Also make sure your screenwash, coolant are fully topped up or specify that you dont wantr them to touch it otherwise the muppets will charge you about £4 for water. I have used Renault Manchester a few times and they are a bunch of half-wits who dont give a toss about your car or you the customer.
I stuck around but didnt watch it, must have taken 45 minutes max and that included work on a non-urgent "recall" on the airbag.
I filled my screenwash right up (with the correct strength wash as well) an hour before the service, and the buggers emptied it out and refilled it, charging me in the process!
Other than that no complaints, considering how quick a 12k service is I cant believe some places charge £250 or whatever. Looking at the breakdown of my bill (£172) I really cant see how they can charge more.

b*stard garages in Medway (Kent) all want arount £320 + VAT for the 182 12k service. Just seem to feel were being taken for a ride down here.
