Michael - I just had my 54,000 service at a trusted Renault specialist and it cost me £80. That was basically for an oil change and general checkover (although I did ask them to check everything as Ive just got the car). I looked back through all the bills that came with my Willy and about £70-100 seems to be the going rate at a specialist, with a couple of odd bits included.
Youve got to remember that Renault dealers hardly ever see a Clio 16V, let alone a Williams and the mechanics treat them accordingly. My last visit to a Renault dealer saw my old 16V end up with 20 more miles on the clock and lots of bits not done right (I was in Edinburgh at the time and couldnt use my regular Renault specialist).
A good specialist like Renatec in Bristol will see a few Clio/19 16Vs every week and will probably have a few regular Williams customers (which is about as popular as youll get in terms of Willys!). I speak to the owner every time and know hed never take a customers car out for a laugh at lunchtime. They know exactly what theyre doing because they see the cars all the time and Id be happy to pay Renault prices for that peace of mind. As it happens, theyre cheaper!
As for recommendations, try:
- Southern England: Paul Mitchell http://www.infinicar.comwww.infinicar.com
- Midlands: Hill Power http://www.hillpower.co.ukwww.hillpower.co.uk
- Wales/West: Renatec 0117 977 7789
Cheers Ben, mines just done 54K and mines in need of a full service i think.
The Willy sounds like a diesel when I start the thing up first thing in the morning.
I was thinking of asking Paul as I live in Surrey, the only other thing was maybe check out K-tech or even going up to BB.
Renault wanted £330
Wot do u lot think?
Yeah same here mate, was talking to peeps earlier about the whole service history thing, and they were sayin they rather buy a Willy that has been serviced by BB/k-tech/hill power etc then having it done by renault themselves.
Im gonna give these lot a ring during the week, including Paul to see how much itll cost me.
