Servicing

[Alex5]

Is this about right for a 7 year service for a clio 182 cup quoted £160

Dear Mr .. this service is now classed as an interim service including oil & oil filter replacement, safety & computer checks & a cabin filter replacement.
Regards
Pete



doesnt sound like a lot for £160?

Does that come with a free blowjob??

No specialists off of here near you??

I'd want to do oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, oil, GB oil if it's never been done.

A standard 12k service (in between of the bigger ones) would comprise of:
Vehicle check
Air filter
Cabin filter
Oil change

BTM Performance and 519 Automotive (both are specialists) charge £140 for this the last time I checked. The going rate for a 12k service by a standard garage is normally around this, I'd expect a chain garage to charge about £150. £160 sounds a tad expensive.

WHilst people seem to belive this is expensive depents on the labour rate easy enough to get garages with £100 a hour labour rate. Its not cheap running a garage

Just get it done at any garage, it's only an oil and filters service.

Got mine done at Renault for £130 not sure how they worked that price out but I paid and didn't mention it!

Mine composed of Cabin Filter, Oil change + filter change, Vehicle Check

^repeat customers get discount at ours, you never asked though

 

[Addicted]

I only went for the stamp

(otherwise i would have no choice but to go up yours, don't trust anyone else!)

 

[Fred@BTM]

you went for a main dealer stamp?? WHY?? That devalues the car

 

[Addicted]

I figured they can't get an oil change wrong, right? (probably not )

 

[Fred@BTM]

bet they used Motrio (aka cheap) parts and the wrong oil is probably in your engine, but meh :rasp:

 

[Addicted]

I was good and asked before they did it, actually Elf 5w 40 or so they said

I've got 5L of Elf Evo SXR 5W-40 sat here from CS Saturday still, so I'll change that after a few miles! (I assume it is still OK and doesn't really have a shelf-life as such?)

 

[Fred@BTM]

no oil doesn't have a use by date

 

[jamiemgreen68]

hey Addicted did you go to the garage in Malvern? my old man is the mechanic there....lolz

Do 182s need a service every year? My last one was about a year ago when I had oil changed and oil filter new brake pads pollen filter etc, just wondering if it's something that needs doing every year or what thanks
