where do you go for cambelt, aux major service?

Car  Italian 3.2 V6
hey, where is the best place to go for the major service, 5yr/72k ? renault garage or specialist and why?
 
I was just gonna go to my local garage cause I trust them & know them, but Renault have a couple of offers on at the mo & i'm taking mine in for the 5 year/cambelt/aux belt to my local renault dealer cause they offered me a price I couldnt refuse!

I'd just go to the cheapest! You get a guarantee at any of them!
 
Specialist and there far cheaper, mainly cos some Renault garages i've phoned say Renault don't make 2LT clios.

Birchdown FTW
 
what type of prices are renault giving for it atm like?

and what type of price to specialists give?
 
I paid £450 for cambelt, auxbelt and new waterpump, genuine parts at a place called French cars in Shrewsbury, was 20ish months ago though.

Don't have a clue from a dealer but guessing £600+
 
My cam/aux belt at Renault in Worcester is costing me £400 all in... worth bargaining with them. Doing the 36k service myself though (well not personally, but Renault isnt!)

Although I did laugh when the Renault man was asking me about my car & said is it the 2l16v one, I said yes. He said is it a 3 door or 5 door... I said you dont do them in 5 doors, you should know that! lol
 
Not a chance! Renault claim its £800+ but you can knock them down on that! Before Reanult the best quote i'd got was £500...
 
Can you really do the belts yourself? Engine bay looks pretty tight! Guess there must be threads on this somewhere...

[off for a search...]
 
not worth messing around with a major service like this, take it somewhere like birchdown who live and breath RenaultSports
