Booked the car in for this Monday coming to have cambelt , cambelt kit and oil service done.

Anyone else got there's booked in Monday too?

 

How much do they charge for this?

 

I'll start the bidding at £675+vat.

 

Peace of mind is not cheap, but is a valuable commodity.

 

I will hazard a guess you did not see the previous thread about RCM then, peace of mind indeed....

 

I'm sure the cambelt kit is the best part of £400 on its own from them. Add to that a service and labour and i bet you wouldn't get much change from a grand.....

 

562 quid for everything is quote been given! After phoning around and getting other quotes RCM was a decent price.

Also it's in keeping with pervious history of the car as it's gone there for most of it's service history

So back to orginal question .... Anyone else booked in?

 

There workmanship is top draw but they can be VERY unrealistic about there pricing.SJ.

 

Hmm, I was deciding between Scoobyclinic or RCM for a cambelt change. I have considered Scoobyworld but their communication scares me. Belt is long overdue at 11 years!

 

^^^^^ Woah I'd get that sorted sharpish!

 

£40 oil, £5 filter, £140 cambelt kit plus 2 hours labour @ £60/hour+ vat= £366.
Basically your paying for a stamp
Maybe price in coolant if they are doing it with the rad out (easiest way)

 

As with all Brands you are paying through the nose for a name.

 

True u do pay over odds, u pay over odds at any tuning company but rather have stamp and recipet from a respected subaru specialist than some back street cowboy garage.

 

i paid £100ish for tim farmer the subaru mobile mechanic to come to my house and do mine.

i bought the kit myself for around £170 ish but that included all idlers and tensioners.

as for the stamp etc, i have a written receipt from a well known and recommended ex zen mechanic so that is good enough for me and id imagine most subaru enthusisasts.

 

I use to use them in 2004 when i first purchased my Subaru,they are very good at what they do,but so are most of the other well known and respected Subaru specialist,try not to get to caught up on a name,i stopped going there when i found out i could purchase there parts cheaper from a third party then direct from themselves,go figure.SJ.

 

Like said I pervious I got quotes off most of the subaru tuners so ain't got caught up on the name.

Some places where a lot dearer than RCM and think one was cheaper by 2 quid.

 

That's good to hear,They must of changed there business plan then.SJ.

 

is the price just for the cambelt or does it include the idlers and tensioners too??

 

That seems cheap considering the cam belt kit is £400 on its own......

Then you've got oil and filter to add plus their labour. You sure that quote is correct ???

 

thats was kind of my point matty is it the complete kit or just the belt as a lot of companies are vague as to what is being changed, then you get the call about oh the idler needs replacing thats another £100 ...

 

Do you have a contact number for him or know what sort of area he covers tubbs? Only ever heard good things. Cheers.

Post a pic of quote

 

God all this grief for just asking simple question of if anyone else is booked in on same day

i thought the rs forums where bad but Christ

 

 

.SJ.

 

There are people in the middle you know! Or just do it yourself if your intelligent and have a garage and the tools, it's only nuts and bolts

 

people are just interested in the rcm tax.
