Harratts Renault Wakefield - Thank you

Just had 3rd Service and MOT

£374.21 In total

All gone very well, passed the MOT first time so Im very pleased with that, especially after some of the issues with emissions that others have had in the past!

While it was in I had a list of warranty work to be put right at the same time, all common issues, every one has been completed without issue and the car is now looking and feeling better than new! Its in desperate need of a clean though after being outside, but I did ask that it wasn't done whilst at the dealer - I enjoy doing it myself :wink: The main bit of warranty was having my alloys redone as they had began to bubble (rust) which took approx a week but the results are amazing so it has been well worth the wait! Even if it has been painful :'( lol!

The day before it went in some :swear: went and dinged my rear 3/4 while I was stood next to the car (needless to say I didn't hold back the abuse!) and it was going to cost £600 excess to take it through insurance until they admitted liability. I spoke to the dealers to see if they could sort it while it was in and sure enough they have come through once again and repaired it to a high standard at a fraction of the cost :w00t: At the same time I have had the particle and pollen filter changed and the air-con re-gassed, so everything is back to being perfect - just the way I like it.

All in all for the amount of work and attention that has gone into it over the past week I find the price very reasonable, looking through the receipt it would have been cheaper if I had supplied the spark plugs myself (if anyone else's is coming up) but its not an issue, merely advice for others.

I can't help but feel there is a lot of bad press for dealers so I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the guys at Harratts RW for doing a great job on my motor! I would also like to single out Nathan there for his great customer service (and putting up with the GF's indecision r.e. the Gordini lol!)

:clap::clap::clap:
 
Glad she's all sorted out sir. I didn't bother taking mine to a garage for the 3rd service, the cost was ridiculous so I got my expert best mate to do it for me :smile:

It is good to hear that a garage has actually done something right, most of them time, they seem to cock things up badly :smile:

I haven't said this to you for a long time, but here goes :ban:

:smile: Germany next year?
 
Yeah its really good that they have got it all sorted and as I say there is a lot of negativity! Nothing is ever perfect and it is how well it is sorted which counts IMO!

LMAO! Nope no ban for me!

Yeah getting all ready for it! I need to do it at least once in my lifetime and there is no time like the present, afterall you are only young once!!!
 
LOL@signature of yours

You and Liambo cannot be banned, it just can't happen. Ever. :hug:
 
Aw Mike, thats so sweet :group: hahaha!

Soppy git :wink:

Yeah the sig is pretty much the same as you put it, just 'next year' lol...
 
I was just saying to Woody about how I lived true to my word when I first met you. The very first word I said to you was....... :f1team07: LOL!!!!

Interesting that, i took mine for the second service and got them to check a few things, one being the window seals which they replaced, they were falling off by the time i got home, i rang them the next day and the lady on reception actually said to me that the parts came in late and they didnt have time to do it properly!!!!!
also, they didnt find any of the problems i noted, so i still have an annoying heat shield rattle at the rear.....

It's just another Renault franchise, their sales side is better than others I've been to but my experience with them so far hasn't been amazing either.
 
Harratts Wakey are a little hit and miss with the diagnosis but whenever I have had a clear issue they have had no problem with fixing it for me, the guys in there seem friendly.

just for gods sake dont let them wash your car!!

Glad you had a good experience anyway mate, mines going in there soon for one or two little issues.
 
I think alot of ren dealers have a bad name but I also had a 3rd service done in West's cambridge Renault and they were top notch and i saved around £90 by not going to my usual specialist !! I paid £190
 
wish mine was still under warentee lol, mine wil be going to ren for the nxt service `even tho i dont like em just so i can keep the ren stamp in the book
 
^^^My mate services mine for me...I keep all the receipts for the oil and plugs etc - and fill in the book myself.

As long as it has been done and you have the receipts, then my previous experience has shown you shouldn't have a problem selling it.

And with most people having progress threads on here, you can see what has been done to your car over it's time under your ownership too :smile:
