Alpine Centre Servicing Costs
Discussion
For A110 owners on the continent:
I paid 791 Euro or the equivalent of 675 British pounds (at today’s FX) for the first service which I found rather steep (2023 A110 S).
Also attempting to charge 250 Euro to set the driver seat to the lower setting appears rather extortionate (I politely declined).
Overall experience at the approved Alpine service centre (which is a Renault dealer) not great either.
Anyway, car is a joy to drive.

That sounds expensive.
Returned yesterday from Alpine Bordeaux - Car is 2019 Legende 17k Kms
Revision 5 (oil, filter, air filter, cabin filter, washer top up) - 679 Euro (inc TVA) - 578 GBP
Because i had skipped last years service - the car has only done 4k Kms since May 2022 - additional activities:
Coolant - 149 Euro (inc TVA) - 126 GBP
Gearbox oil change - 125 Euro (inc TVA) - 106 GBP
The only thing not expected (but as i was there i gave in) - Wiper blades - 95 Euro (inc TVA). - 80 GBP
Not bad i think and they have submitted a warranty claim for the failing rubber seal on the rear glass - hoping they cough for that as its 500 Euro

This is the issue where manufacturers are setting service fees based upon the original cost of the cars, rather than the cost of parts and the work required.
An Alpine service should be no more than a Renault service, bar a little labour to remove and replace undertrays.
Notably the RRG dealers in the UK (owned by Renault themselves) are a lot more than the independently owned main dealers.
