Dreaded Servicing Booked

[Chorlton]

Car booked in for a B + cam belt next thursday at scotts house .. I mean Horizon

 

Hopefully not too much will be falling apart..

let me know the cost... got mine coming up in 1000 or so miles...

 

cheers

My total bill when i had that done was £530... that included ball joints, steering rack gaitors, fitting exhaust/decat too though

Warren, its 344.50+vat at horizon(~£405). And, as I understand, b service +cambelt = c service(apart from "Renew fuel filter")see service schedule HERE.

 

Which brings me to another point. The difference at most dealers between an 'A' and a 'C' starts at about £300 for effectively new spark plugs, new fuel filter and cambelt. Is it just me or is this a generous 'step up' in price for what doesnt sound like a lot of extra? Could well be missing something, and hoping to be proved wrong..

[Chorlton]

Yes, I got a quote for around 350+vat.. though expecting more like scotts once all the bits are back. Thankfully did the exhaust myself in a fit of mechanical ability.

[Scott_Mac]

 

Mine was in the wonderful "pre-vat" days though, so expect a bit more if bits need doing

Booked in for exactly the same thing tomorrow Chorlton Except I'm having an MOT too.

 

B-Service = £200+VAT

Cambelt = £150+VAT

MOT = £35=VAT

Do Horizon service / MOT other cars (e.g. Puntos) as ours needs sorting soon?

[Scott_Mac]

Yup, can and will service/MOT anything

Asked Wendy about my dads Rover600....

 

She said he had no taste?

 

[MattyB]

Tis a bag 'o crap, I tell thee.

 

Slow, drinks petrol, sounds like a tank (cant believe its from the same people that made the VTEC lumps...), drives like a tank and munches tyres. On top of that Rover servicing takes the p*ss...
