Roger Clark Motorsport

How much do they charge for this?

johnny subaru 05 November 2014 11:02 AM

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....

MattyB1983 05 November 2014 12:49 PM

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.....

SpecC_Chris 05 November 2014 01:04 PM

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.

RS_Matt 05 November 2014 01:24 PM

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!

specialx 05 November 2014 03:20 PM

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

boosted 05 November 2014 03:27 PM

£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)

ZX-TT 05 November 2014 03:38 PM

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

SpecC_Chris 05 November 2014 03:45 PM

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:wonder:.SJ.

SpecC_Chris 05 November 2014 04:41 PM

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.

fat-thomas 05 November 2014 04:56 PM

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

http://www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.u...productID=2571

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 ...

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

fat-thomas 05 November 2014 06:20 PM
