I have just been quoted �370 by my local Renault dealer for a new cambelt for my N reg 2.0 RT 8V Laguna.


Also another �280 for a service!


How much will I pay at a proper garage?

OK this was two years ago but he was quoted half of what you were quoted for the parts for the cambelt change


a LOT less than that, guess it depens on your area to how much, look in yellow pages and ring around, try to get someone who will give you a guarantee. i wouldnt bother with renault for a car that age unless you have to

A renault garage is a "proper" garage but very expensive.


A good local garage will do the job for a lot less for you.

Sign up and ask the same question there.

That sounds far too high for an 8v - you sure you are note being quoted for a 16v - a lot harder to do the cambelt on them. At the end of the day, insurance companies will write a car off if the cost of repairs is greater than 50% of the total value of the vehicle. If you were to consider this arepair, it would make your car a write off really. Service parts including a cambelt should cost no more than �70 and would take about two hours - ate �35/hr, that makes a total of about �140 - that is what I would pay.
