My local Mini dealership wanted £230 per hour to try and diagnose a sticking front passenger window. Took it to an independent mechanic who after 20 mins said it's a dodgy hall sensor in the window motor.
I can beat that, while working away and unable to take the car to a local independent. my wife took her Audi Q3 for MOT at our local Audi dealer. they charged her £900 for rear discs and pads. Inchcape they are bullied into overcharging.
They're called 'stealerships' for a good reason.
Just had a major service and Mot on a Peugeot 308 this was done at main dealership.Passed Mot but cost of service was £515.00.
Wow I knew main dealers rip people off and commit fraud every day. For example quoted £1500 for pads and disks on a golf R. I worked out they were charging me £1,200 for an hours labour and that the youth trainee normally does them who earns less than minimum wage. Normally a dealership throws parts at faults. I had an extended manufactures warranty and they even ripped VW finance warranty off. I had a faulty resistor pack and they charged £100 to diagnose, £86 for the part and £150 to fit plus VAT. All for a job I had already diagnosed and could have fitted in 10mins. Also if a dealership doesn’t want to deal with a car/customer they normally quote crazy prices. You would think garages would have show time worked by proof. Most garages commit fraud but they always get away with it so why not keep rinsing it.
@@djsiuk legalised fraud !
You may have misread the main dealer invoice and the quoted price was for a replacement Suzuki car 😂
Didn’t think of that 😂
Now that would be reasonable. 😂
I never use dealerships. Years ago at the land-rover garage. The labour charge was at that time £60 per hour. I decided to watch the mechanic through the courtesy window. At £1.00 a minute. If he decided to go to the toilet, chat to his mate, and go for a spanner. Cost me about £5 quid. Oh, and the parts were extortionate!! Thank god for independent garages and mechanics.
Used a main dealer for servicing my current car when there was value in a full dealer service history from the supplier.
Trigger for doing things myself finding they'd damaged the undertray during an oil change by bending it down instead of dealing with the broken clipnut that was covered by TSB saying change it for a revised design. Also found two bolts were missing which they had the nerve to charge me for then put one in missing the clipnut.
Later found the cabin filter had a batch date that showed they'd not changed it twice despite charging me £50 each time.
They aren’t called main stealers for nothing…. Never again
Anyone who resorts to using a main dealer deserves what they get. This rip off has existed for decades. It’s hard to understand how they continue to get away with it. Same problem applies to Peugeot fold down screens. The problem is usually the cable but main dealers don’t service the cable. £100 on eBay for refurbished cable.
I sold my car back in June. I will never buy another car that has to be plugged into a computer to diagnose faults. My Mondeo was a diesel, and it was a 2011 model, but every little job cost a small fortune. I am looking for a 20 year old plus, motorbike, that my Dad can service.
You can try servicing it yourself, instead of stereotyping your dad into your problem.
@@hughjanus7354 You don't even know the meaning of the word, Sterotype, and I'm not mechanically minded as far as bikes and cars go, what woman is?
@@Sonya_Makepeace what woman is? That's 100% stereotyping right there. I'll give you a few examples: Philippa York, Caitlyn Jenner, sisters Wachowsky - all these women would never ask their dads to service their cars for them.
same with normal servicing £250/400 for an oil change wtf
Yes I paid Volvo £300 for an oil change, keeps it up to date but it’s fucking expensive and I can do it for £75 all in myself but no stamp
@@Alexander_l322 exactly its just a con
@@Alexander_l322 IF they perform any service - other than handing you their card reader for you to pay on return - at all.
@@krs5259 well it’s not a scam because they are not trying to steal your money, we know the price and it’s our choice to pay it
@@Alexander_l322Where would you dispose of the oil out of interest?
My thoughts? I would never opt for a car with a built-in satnav. Even if they don't fail, they need to be updated and main dealers are rip off merchants.
I had a Vauxhall Insignia Elite a few years ago the driver side headlight went out and the handbook advised me to go to the main dealership. They quoted me £200.02p to change the bulb 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I bought one in Halfords for £50 and fitted it myself 👍
I get All my parts off eBay
Main dealers have been ripping off customers off for years. I used to have an E30 BMW back in the day and remember BMW charging £45 per hour under their 4-year plus program. That all changed after a short while, and they raised this to £110 per hour. That was enough to price me out and look for a cheaper garage. I dread to think what BMW are charging now.
Why people take to main stealers as if under warranty should use any vat registered garage and won't invalidate your warranty . Obviously dealership never tell u that
Desira , the name at the top of the invoice should GIVE HER THE MONEY BACK
I have a Peugeot 3008 with only 36000 and my car needed a new cam belt ( the shitty wet one) I called my local Peugeot they said unless the car had full dealer service then it’s not interested and the warranty doesn’t stand,
Unless the cam belt fails it’s not a warranty repair and it does not have to have dealer history, just a full service history, that’s for any manufacturer.
Mainstealers , young lady bought a 2012 fiat500 auto for £7000 in 2023 ..
Gearbox started playing up , mainstealers fitted a new ecu as they advised this was the problem !
The new ecu made no difference , and she had a nice bill of £3000 to pay !
Completely cheesed off with the car , she decided to scrap it for £195 !
My car dealer friendly kindly offered to buy the car for £250 !
And will get a clutch fitted for £700 !
So you're upset about main dealers ripping the lady off, yet you see nothing wrong with your car dealer friend ripping her off even worse than them? Talk about hypocrisy.
@@hughjanus7354 the deal had already happened , she was robbed of £3000 by the fiat main dealers Colchester , she was literally happy to scrap the car for £180 , absolutely nothing to do with me !
My car dealer friend bought it , not me ! More the fool her for trusting main agents and more the fool her for not listing on eBay with no reserve and possibly selling for maybe £1500 ..
She wouldn’t have been so sick of the car if she hadn’t wasted £3000 not having her car fixed .
A decent honest garage could have change the clutch for her for less than a grand she wouldn’t have been in this situation! The fiat 500 had caused so much stress she just wanted rid of it !
Good luck fitting a clutch if it’s an Auto 😂
@@grahamgriffiths7405 semi auto have a clutch 🍩
You need to get yourself on camera like berrow motors if you want to boost your channel and get more customers
Cheers for the advice, I do show myself on camera on a few of my videos.
Pity you didnt name the dealership,wnkrs
Looks like Desira Norwich from what is showing at the bottom of the invoice. Not a good chain. They wanted, a few years ago £200 for an hid bulb for my 350Z Nissan. Got identical in Halfords for £60.
