    we had our Renault 1.5dci (same are yours) timing belt kit done in Craughwell by Dave Fallon motors for.... € 390 ?? (iirc).

    I don't know what it is about Galway City garages: hourly rates are nuts.

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    The quote sounds about right,
    Dacia Dealer in Waterford wanted 950e from me for servicing my Dacia Logan (Diesel),

    I got the parts myself and got the full service and timing belt done by a reputable garage for just under 600e

    Out of interest what is the timing belt change interval for a Duster? Ours has 50k miles racked up

    It depends what is needed for the service, if its just a timing belt and water pump then yeh, that's a rip off. If the service quoted also includes brake pads and disks for front and rear, oil change & filter, air filter, pollen filter, wipers, spark plugs and tyres then maybe its about right.

    All that for 900e!!!!

    Where is your mechanic and how long in advance do I need to book??? I presume he's booked out for the foreseeable considering he is so cheap?

    You would expect to pay around 600e for this work from a chain or independent.

    From a main dealer it's about right.



    You don't have to use the main dealer. You choose.....

    Hi.

    Just back from a call with Dacia Duster Galway dealer who quoted me 904 Euro for service and timing belt replacement. He says this is including a big discount since I'm doing both things together.

    Seems ridiculously expensive to me.
    What do you think?
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    If they’re putting spark plugs in then they’re definitely up to something.

    Is it not a diesel??
