where do you go for cambelt, aux major service?

[Šįk]

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

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+

i was quoted £900 for a cambelt and aux belt change, and then £200 ish for a full 72k service.

Came to £730 in total at birchdown

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

:O jebus, i have been told its around 300...!!

 

[TidyRach]

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...

holy (uck! thats rediculas!!

My drive :rasp:.

Can you really do the belts yourself? Engine bay looks pretty tight! Guess there must be threads on this somewhere...

[off for a search...]
