M.O.T:Passed:Does the air con come under warranty,Whats a average cost of a service.
 
Just had my m.o.t today all was fine,But the aircon is not working i tell you i have had enough from vospers in exeter where the car was bought,Last year they told me they fixed the air-con but ive never thought it was working right,Ive just had my service done at my local garage and they told me its not working,Its going to cost me £70 for my local garage to look at it,Im sure the air-con is not included in the warranty but i might be wrong?

Now comes to the polun filter,Last years service at vospers they told me they changed it but it seems it has never been changed,It clearly states on the invoice from vospers that the polun filter was changed,I cant belive how many problems i have had with vospers.


Today i had a full service at my local garage and it cost me £196.14,Thats without the fee for the m.o.t which was £54,Is that about the standard price for a service,Things that was done:

Oil Filter
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Polun Filter
Screen Wash
Sump Washer

I can't say for sure as I do my own...................I don't trust garages!

I trust this man,He has had the garage for a year i think,He knows my dad and replaced the head gasket on my rover a couple of years ago before he had this garage,Before he started his business he worked for Rover/MG:fez:

Finding one you can trust is rare these days, let's hope it stays that way.

I paid exactly the same price for my MOT 2 weeks ago.

My service, a few months back, included mostly the same bits I think, but I also had 6 plugs and an oil change at a cost of £240 IIRC. The plugs alone cost £50 ish, so the difference to yours is mainly the cost of an oil change. I thought I had quite a good deal though.

Nice one:smile1:

Now you may think im being silly about vospers and the polun filter,Thats just a thing now added to the list,But i would not send anyone to that place because of all the problems ive had,These pictures should say something about vospers,I went into vospers for them to fix my car alarm when i picked it up they told me they had noticed a illegal tyre nothing more was said to me.

did you pay for the tyres?

i do my own servicing as well mick.

Jem 19-05-09 08:19 PM

Yea i had to pay for new tyres,But i wasn't going to let them get away with it so in the end i did got money off for the service.

Hey Jem, it is difficult to tell from the pictures, but it looks like one of your tyres has metal ply exposed, which would make it unroadworthy without a doubt.

A full service kit for the V6 using genuine parts is under £50 ( not including oil)
