DickJ Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi, Does anyone know of a reliable garage in the Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft area? Local Nissan dealer seem a bit expensive! Thanks in advance. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Although I use Nissan main dealer for my servicing, I usually call the Yarmouth, Norwich, and Harleston branches for a price. Normally my usual branch is happy to match or beat it There are also traders on here that get get you the parts for a good price if you are happy to service it yourself. What do you drive then? I'm in the local area and a few other people on here are too I believe Edited January 19, 2014 by KurtB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickJ Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi, Thanks or replying. I have a 2008 313bhp GT in Gunmetal. It's coming up to 40k and it is time to get it serviced. I only checked the Nissan web site and its coming out a around £360. Maybe I should shop around as I thought it was a corporate price. There's a Jap centre in Kings Langley doing the same service for £180 and get rave review so I wondered if there was someone similar locally. By the way, last summer the back exhaust box blew and Nissan wanted over £400 just for the box plus fitting. Got a stainless one from ebay for just under £200 including the pipe to the cat. Sounds good as well plus its a fit and forget! Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Cool In my experience usually a P1 / P2 / P3 service will cost roughly £220 / 260 / 300 from a main dealer. Last 3 years they have also thrown in free breakdown cover with the RAC (maybe they don't have much faith in their work) haha, which saves me x amount a year Thats on a 56 plate 296bhp but I can't imagine much difference in price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickJ Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi again, I've just had a quote from Desira for £265 for a P2 service, took the wife's car to John Grose in Lowestoft and asked them. They contacted Nissan for the P2 schedule, oils etc and came up with a price of £195 which I think I'll probably go for as the work is pretty standard and they all seem to have the same diagnostic kit. Must say this is the best car I have ever had, I previously had an FTO and a Celica before that. Need a new set of tyres before the next MOT - ouch!
