helimeddaz Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi All, Been off for a bit, the trials of life and all that.... Well Z due for service. Year 2 17,500 covered, so checked for required info. this was after Evans Halshaw Leeds (remember that folks) rang and told me it was due and that it needed a P3. To which I answered "No, I think you'll find it's a P2". However the young (Very young) lady went away and returned informing me that the technician had told her P3 for sure and that would be £365.28 to you Sir. (Collapse and sharp intake of breath) "We can price match, but all our other dealers will charge the same" So.... I call Evans Halshaw Doncaster. "yes we can do it, but it only needs a P2 which is £318, less your own oil and brake fluid, so call it £250 for cash". OK.....that put paid to "we all charge the same" then. So, Call me cautious, I call Lightcliffe Nissan Halifax. GTR and 350/370Z Specialist. Very savvy Brian, "Yes needs a P2. £227.57 with your own oil and fluid", "So £220 for cash then, "Ok". This seems like the option for me. A reasonable price and someone who appears to know "A" know the car and "B" what they are doing. Comments....and or experiences....I thank you.

Ricey Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Stealers in fairness are just like independants except they come under a big shiney brand name..........some are good, some are ace other are utter blowfish turd.

spursmaddave Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Sounds about right to me and shows why you should never take your first quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroudy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Tell me about it. Called 2 main dealers 10 miles apart this week for the cost of a P3 service, one was £265 the other £357.. for the same thing. I know where i'll be going! Cost price on a P3 is 180 odd quid apparently. Tw@s aren't they eh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichIX Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Evans Halshaw Leeds are crap, although they did price match for me when I rang Doncaster up! RS Tuning Leeds next time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I pay way under £200 for a p2 at Lockwood and Greenwood, supplying own oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I pay way under £200 for a p2 at Lockwood and Greenwood, supplying own oil. +1 on L&G. Used them for my last service and they were cheaper than Nissan and there knowledge and customer service was excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
