MOT Cost OK?

[DazJ]

Hi

I was just wondering whether this seemed ok, i've just put my Clio in for service & mot. Got a phone call back saying I needed new discs & pads, and 2 new front tyres. £390 for the total including mot & service

Clio 1.5 65bhp Dynamique 22000miles

Where from?

Get a second opinion..

Did you know you needed 2 front tyres, discs and pads?

Sounds pricey to me

If you have the standard 185/55/15 tyres on your car then yu can get pirellis for around £50 of the internet (brand new)

So thats £100 for both.

Disks and pads are prob around the £50 mark but dont quote me on that, its just a guestimate. So £150 + labour

Surely its only an hours labour, maybe 2 tops. I would have thought £250 should cover it?

 

[DazJ]

i knew i need the tyres, discs & pads. & yeah £250 for them but its getting serviced & mot'd as well. will find out what they have charged when I go to pick car up

Including a service that seems reasonable.

If you're unsure of the price ask for an explanation of the costs over the phone.

You are paying their wages after all.....

think i was £120 for new discs and pads oon my MOT

Is this being done at a Renault dealership.

If so, I thinka service is in the region of £180 and MOT is around £50. So there's £230 before any additional parts and labour.

Seems a bit steep to me.

 

[sparky85]

remember thats got tax included in the price aswel

If it is Renault, definitely check the discs & pads yourself. It seems someone at Renault decided ages ago that nearly every car they ever set on eyes on needs new discs & pads.

lmfbo mine needed new disks and pads when it went in for the bonnet catch to be done... Nowt wrong with them whatso ever rears could do with doing if were being very picky but they wanted to do all four.

Robbing buggers.

Mot at my local steelers was only £26 bargin i think.

Seems reasonable when you factor it the M.O.T and service, depends what service it was, just an oil and filter change, or a full blown servicing?

Servicing varies a fair bit in price between places as does labour rates.

Seems fair when it's broken down like that.

 

[benmore]

sounds spot on

what tyres?

 

[DazJ]

michelen (sp?) but i've just been out to check & there isn't any visible cracking on the rear tyres :S

 

[DazJ]

also how much would i be looking at paying to get the gearbox mount replaced?
