Hi guys

I just got quotation for my BA (mazda garage in Malusk):

Brake pads £88
Engine oil sump £210.79
Wheel trim £32
D/S CV Boot £116.32 (yes! boot)
2 Suspension drop link arms £166

Do not you think that it is bit too much?

any ideas how to cut this cost? or maybe some recomendations of reliable garages in Belfast area?

greets

Radek

Way too expensive mate ... go to a Non dealership and get them to quote, prefereably a decent back street garage :P

drop links can be purchased for £16 each... Mazda are rateher extortionate :P

The GENUINE CV boot should cost you £7.50, kick 'em to the kerb mate :D

Even my expensive Black diamond pads are only £48 the set!!!!! And someone found a place to get them cheaper too :D

How come you need a new sump????

they said that my sump is so coroded and got even hole in it ...

feel like someone is tryin' to cheat me ...

anyway: I never (AFIK) hit anything what can reach my oil sump

greets,

Another member from Belfast! Where about's are you?

Take it you made the trip to Lyndsey Ford/Mazda? Have you tried the parts place in Merville near the Abbeycentre, they're usually pretty good at getting things at reasonable prices. No idea where you could get them fitted though. If you do find someplace, please let me know.

Those prices have made me feel sick! why do dealers think they can rip us of all the time???

See my post about me water pump then you see what I mean.

I am not in Belfast, actually. I live in Antrim but used Belfast as more descriptive place :P

I am native Polish so do not know much 'bout local market. Every sugestion about places and garages is highly appreciated.

Greets,

i remember once, we used chemical metal on a coroded sump once on a 626.... and saved it!

No breaker by you? If your good with the spanners you could get the parts via the internet and do the work your self. This save a load of cash.
