Ive got a quote from s and h motors in poole for a cambelt and waterpump change.

£377 inc vat. does that sound abit too cheap?

anybody else used them?

Isn't there an AutoLusso franchise down your neck of the woods? Might be worth giving them a call. Sure Lawrence would be competetive.

Sounds really cheap - I was quoted £1300 by AMC and the Alfa Workshop's website quotes £1000.00

If anyone can recommend somewhere in East Anglia that is cheaper it would be appreciated (otherwise the wife wont get a Xmas pressie)

Actually it's quite expensive!

Alfa Tecnico (a well respected alfa indie) charged me £205 + vat for it last year, and £300 + vat for the major service at the same time.

Do you have a 2.4 or a 1.9?

 

[MarcG]

Mine was for a 2.4

Does it make much difference?

Not to us, its the same parts and the same job. But to some it might as there's less room to work in a 2.4, so if they haven't done many then I can see them wanting to charge a bit more for the extra hassle over a 1.9.

Mines a 2.4 hmm got me wondering as the other 2 quotes i got from alfa specialists were £459 and £520 mark for cambelt and waterpump,

thats why i thought the £377 was cheap..

anybody else think the £377 is actually expensive then? and anybody used s&h in poole ?

that price includes vat by the way

 

[Pud237]

£377 is a good price, does that include timing belt, tensioner, idler, waterpump, coolant, consumables and fitting etc?

Or just a belt & pump?

 

[cloverleaf159]

yep includes all that you listed pud

 

[srsgrandmaster]

for that price i doubt they will use genuine parts.Some specialist and main dealers charge alot for this belt change as elearn tells you to remove the engine which is a 10 hour job

Booked mine (2.4) in with Veloces in Barnet. They said the standard price is normally £700.00 plus VAT, but said if I booked it in by a certain date, They'll do it for £550 + VAT and throw in a fee Air Con service - can't argue with that.

Just want to say I had that the wrong way around! Which makes it very similar to the original post.

So £360 for the cam belt and pump and £245 for the service.
