Is this Quote Amount Common??

Hi,

I have just recently bought an XF-R Sport Brake 3.0l Diesel V6 and went to jaguar main dealer for price on service, water pump and drive belt change as I have on some reviews these are main points of failure on these engines. I also asked for price on gear box Oil change and some new discs and pads front and back. And was quoted £5200, and that's including 10% discount!! Is it me or is that a ridiculous high?

That’s ridiculously high

I got my belt and pump done for £450 at a jag indy

Oh, and gearbox Oil changed a couple of years ago for about the same price

Thanks, at least I know it's not just me who thinks that price is extortionate. I'm looking for a good independent specialist in Merseyside or North Wales.

Cheers.

Thats ridiculous, I was under the impression the cambelt and water pump was fixed price of £650 at Jag? I tried a quote a few days ago on the jaguar website using my reg and mileage it's a 2012 3.0l v6s diesel 95,000 miles and a major service which includes the cambelt change was just over £1000. I've had various quotes from local garages online for £450-£500 for cambelt and water pump. Brakes I would do myself to be honest and have priced up brembo brake pads from GSF car parts (similar to euro car parts) for only £30-£35 a set, discs are more expensive and wear sensors but still shouldn't be anywhere near what you were quoted. I also want the gearbox service done, the ZF kit is about £250 but the process requires a ramp and diagnostic equipment to do it properly.
