Any recommendations/advice on servicing in Northwest around Manchester? Car just hit 4 years old, 27,000miles. Local Renault/alpine dealership online starting price is a frankly disturbing £837.29! Seems to be oil, plugs and brake fluid for that.
Their advantage premium service, for non Renaultsport is a more reasonable £299 + £69 for Brake fluid.
Anyone had a more reasonable price for the 4 year service?
Thanks

Does it have to be a main dealer you take it to?

I think I paid about 500 for mine, but I was only on 15k at the time and opted not to do the plugs.

Renault servicing costs have gone up a lot the past few years, they were very reasonable when I had my old 250 Cup and then the 220 Trophy, but even for the Duster they're trying to charge over 300 for a minor service which is just mad.

Thanks for that, it doesn’t help that getting a definitive schedule is like nailing custard to the wall.

£850+ is faintly ridiculous, Ktec are £300 cheaper, straight away.

Bamford rose are only £50 more at £900 for oil, all filters and plugs on a v8 vantage! And they’ve twice the plugs and a lot more oil in them!

Yeah it's madness.

I was tempted to go down to my local ATS Euromaster (where I get my tyres) as they were so much cheaper. It's not like the servicing involves anything particularly complicated.
