Cambelt & water pump 'special offer'

[wacky]

Just dropped into Alan Day VW City to get a quote for this, they said they have a special offer of £499, doesn't sound that special to me just wondered what the going rate was these days ?

I think AMD in Thurrock offer the cambelt and water pump for £299 -
Give them a call.

I Paid £500 at VW and that included:- Cambelt + Waterpump/Brake Fluid change and Aircon service (flush/re-gas)

£499 aint special its especially high

Fixed price for Cambelt/Waterpump only was £419, got them to do the Brake fluid change and aircon for another £80 (Just ask!)

Rip off twats. I wouldn't mind if their price was high, but calling it a special offer is really nasty.

Unfortunately good honest places end up being tarred with the same reputation, because of the greed of a minority. The greedy few causing pain for the rest as usual.

The human race is seriously flawed...armageddon will be the inevitable eventuality.

they also wanted £75 to diagnose the exhaust lamp fault !

well it needs a DSG service, cambelt + water pump plus whatever on the exhaust so I will see what sort of quote AMD give me, hoping for something reasonable !

cheers

Yeap, an Indy specialised should be 20-30% less than the VW Main Dealer.


The amount VW charge for diagnostics is daylight robbery. Have a look through the VCDS Owners register and there is bound to be someone (on the forum) near you who will help.

I phoned AMD Woking and they wanted £450 for it. That's a massive difference 

[paulw123]

Thats mad, get AMD woking to look at AMD essex web prices   

[Jussa]

That's like the house price difference between Surrey and Essex
