Ive had my car go into AM Brentwood today for its service and they have come back saying there is a light squeak from the front that will get worse over time. Recommended replacement belt and pulley for £240 +vat (discounted from original £299 they quoted)

Whats people's thoughts on price and having it done whilst its there in one go?

I thought it would be covered under warranty as only bought the car in September.

They did also find a leak in the aircon pump, so thats being replaced under warranty.

How old is the car ? the squeaky belt and revised pulley was a warranty fix over 10 years ago on the 4.3 Vantage. Out of warranty the parts are about £130 for revised pulley/belt + fitting so your quote sounds about right from a dealer, but if the car is in warranty it should be covered surely
