Its service time! ... But do i go official?

[sparklesTHEpony]

Right, Come to a point where the cars been that thrashed and only visually loved that the insides are starting to cry. Well theyre not im just guessing they are.

My clio project is soon coming to a complete point. After that im going to treat it to a proper service.. but how much is it going to cripple me?

Instead of my local garage service im wanting to go to my local Renault dealership/workshop for a proper pretty much full "Ren Boutique" service, everything bar coilpacks as ive not long just got a brand new set of 4.

How many tears am I going to be looking at shedding? (How much $$)
Or does anyone else have any points/views?
Cars on 36K hasn't been serviced since I bought it at 32K
No idea since it was serviced before that.
My SERV light is constantly on but that's from changing the seats and being too lazy to get it sorted.

Use a specialist imo rather than a dealer or a local!

Although tbh if it's just a 1.4 and has no prior Renault history, why bother?

 

[Thrill]

Low mileage, wow!

Low mileage, wow!

Haha bought it from 1 previous owner who had it from new. Cars got full history never seen over 5K a year in its life and its a 53 plate. Bought for 1,500.
Nothing wrong it with! pretty much new! Hence why I want to give it a proper service.


Edit:
May I point out to anyone reading that I have no idea since it was last serviced as I'm pretty much a tard when it comes to the log book or just cars in general. Theres more than likely, almost certainly something in there that will tell me when it was last serviced. But point remains im pretty sure its due for one.

Take it to Mick at Diamond Motors.

 

[MicKPM]

Take it to Bristol Street in either Derby or Ilkeston if you like to but I promise you they'll do less for £230 than I would

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Yep take it to Mick, he'll look after you

 

[bright]

Take it to mick. He's a legend.

 

[Rob Clark]

Take it to Mick! More to be gained by visiting a specialist where you get to chat to the guy looking at your car (and not a service depatment or woman on the phone) and I guarantee Mick will give you some honest and vaulable service and feedback!

 

[MicKPM]

If he likes I'll wear a dress Rob... I know you love it

 

[sparklesTHEpony]

Hahaha! yeah im fine with the dress thanks (;
Ill bring it to you then mate, ill PM you when it comes closer to the time for me going to do it. (around 1 or 2month or so yet)

I'll imagine its going to be costly in the sense you'll might find a few things wrong with it that I'll need to start a fix list. As someone who drove it recently said (just from driving it) claims one of my engine mounts feels like its going or collapsed.

Either way nice one! ill defo be getting in touch.
