service prices

[royalsgoingup]

how much have people paid for a 36k servie on a 172 sport?? im strongly considering using the aa as oposed to renault as AA only want £200 while renault is £340 and i only want to get it serviced so it can be sold on shortly with a fsh

Renault wanted £340 for a 36k service and MOT on my MK2 1.2, seems ridiculous to me.

I shopped around and found one for about £200.

At the end of the day at genuine Renault service isnt a garauntee of quality, especially given some of the trouble people have had with dealers. Im just going to a place I know will do everything thats needed and seem a little more professional.

Is the full dealer service history going to be worth so much more to the buyer to justify the expense?

Have a look in todays paper, Sunday Mirror. On page 30 is the headline "fool service history" Renault is the worse for all different prices across the country, it ranges frm £370 in B-ham to £183 in Norwich.

Mine needs its 18k service very soon - Im going to ring up the Renault dealers in Portsmouth, see what they charge (think someone mentioned they do a discount for Cliosport members, so could be worth it)

my mk3 16v needs its first service soon they want £200 for an oil and filter change and another £35 to dispose of the oil. im a mechanic for mercedes and we arent even that expensive and we charge £105 an hour!!!

i took mine to renault in sunderland, and they charged me more than renault in chester. I said..look renault chester are doing it for this price, can you match it..and they did.

Ring about, and get them to price match. Different dealers, different prices..

renault dealers are w**kers would service it myself but want to keep the warranty and fsh

 

[iwantaV6]

they cannot void your warranty if you get your car serviced elsewhere, aslong as its a VAT regd garage and using genuine renault parts.

they are ridiculously priced, i got quoted £171 for my first V6 service which is an oil and fitler change and pollen filter! it is a joke, but most manufacturers are this pricey now.

Would you realy want Renault Chester to service the car though they might forget to or go read you magazines instead.

 

[JAY172]

an average price of a 36k would be between £250 and £300

I got a 36k service at Renault in Bristol for £200. The bonus is that it was a renault minute garage which meant I didnt need an appointment either. I would shop around and the play one garage off against another.

172 36k should be cheaper than a normal clio because they cant charge you for a rear brake strip
