Renault Captur service and repair cost?

Just wondered if anyone might have an opinion on this at all?.

Daughter has one of the above now 5 years old. Put it into the local main dealer for a MOT and service was quoted 300 quid for the service which seemed a bit steep to me, and then bad news the front Suspension arm ball joint has excessive play seems it all a one piece unit and you have to change the lot thats another 300 odd quid?

Is that the sort of price a main dealer would charge these days or is it in the realms of rip off?

Any opinions appreciated.

Thanks..

sounds normal for a main dealer, independant would be half (roughly)

Main dealers charge main dealer labour rates per hour. At £150 an hour or whatever, just changing a bulb can have a significant cost.

No real point in using a main dealer for a car likely now worth not a lot.

As others have said, try an independent. A service record is just that. Keep receipts of all work if you intend to sell in the next few years.

I had a Renault Espace for (about) 13 years and found it excellent. However, towards the end of the time I owned it, a few minor things failed- a hose and a headlight switch spring to mind. The cost of those was horrendous. Being 'specials' you had to buy from Renault or risk a second hand part.
