B + C Service Cost W. Yorks

Postby westonben » Fri 12.08.2005, 08:41

Sadly it's time to depart with my hard earned so the car can have a new belt.

Chris Foulds want £620+VAT which I guess is reasonable but I am skint at the moment, has anyone any other suggestions for the W. Yorks area that could save me some pennies??

If you change the cambelt too I might even bring you out a rich tea during the adverts.

Just had the Lotus in JCT600 for it's MOT - which it passed!! Asked about the major service and they quoted £625 all in. It's a good saving over Chris Foulds - what's the feeling on JCT600?

They seemed to take care for the MOT.

Reading through the history I see Richard Clifton won't used JCT600 ever again!

What happened?

625 all in for the major (B+C) service? I was quoted 1300 all in from the very same garage today!

I booked in Chris Foulds too, the price changed when I tried to book JCT600.

Mine is in at Chris Foulds as I type. I asked JCT 600 how much to replace the rear wishbones and I was told £799. I think this will change if you went to book it as well - the bloke I spoke to also seemed to think the wishbones were solid and would only need replacing if they had become loose - and not due to corrosion. I can only think they are getting cars mixed up.

Gives one a lot of confidence, doesn't it :cry:
JPS M100 was built from bare chassis up to create one off M100 in the mould of JPS Team Lotus
