1st service - how much to pay?

[rocky]

My 197 is due its first service but I was wondering what price people have paid. Is it a major or minor service? I've been quoted £262 all Inc which seems very expensive!

I'm in Gloucestershire too
thanks

That way to much mate, it’s only a minor service so oil + filter and pollen filter that’s all that needs replacing.

I have my first service due at the end of September but going by what other have said it should be around the sub £160 mark.

I thought it was a bit much, but I'm going to look around at independant garages too. I did read another thread saying about a service for around £160 but I wasn't sure if it was for a 1st or 2nd

They don't get called stealers for nuffink!

Got mine done at an independent for £106.

£106, for a service, that's unreal! How'd you get it that cheap?
And where??

If you want a main dealer to do it, get a few prices and play them off against each other, it works, trust me

Places like Evans Halshaw up here offer oil/filter services for £99, but strangely won't do cars inside manufacturers warranty

Just look up your local French car specialist in the big yellow book, probably under garage services?

Mine was in Bradford On Avon and it was £90+VAT. Dealer wanted £216 to do the same job!

Just booked mine in for its first service and they quoted me £180 but with family discount I got it down to £144, not bad for a main dealer.

Got the first service done on our 197 for £163 from a Renault dealer, great service too, even included a free courtesy car

I got mine booked for next Saturday £189 all in and with Courtesy car at Renault Bristol road gloucester if that helps mate

Thats a long way for you to go isn't it Rocko?
Oh and after ringing around I got a few quotes:
1) Hylton Cheltenham = £262! (yeah right)
2) Fish Brothers Swindon = £172 (better)
3) Local garage, 5 min walk away from home = £82.50 FTW!!

Booked in this morning so all going well I can't believe how much dealers want for a minor service, bend me over a barrel why don't they!

I live in Thornbury....took my car for its 1st service to Carlton Garage in Exmouth....service was about £95....plus the fuel......but they are trust worthy and treat your car well. The owner keeps his own Clio V6 and has a 5 Turbo rally car...nearet price in Bristol was £215....
