Where to have quadchip serviced near Huddersfield

[Kev Stephenson]

Had my Quadchip for 12 months now and would like to have someone carry out the annual service. I do the routine levels/blades/greasing etc but want a pro checkover / service of the engine. I have phoned Balmers who are my local (40 miles away) greenmech dealers and got quoted in my opinion a ridiculous price.

 

Does anyone in the Huddersfield ish area use and recommend an independent?

 

Yes I could do the oil and filters myself but I want an independent to give it the once over and have that stamp in the book so to speak.

 

Thanks

Hello,

I don't get ours done annually but at the hours laid down in the manual.

As far as I am aware, our dealer only changes the oil and filter (which is a total pain to do as the chassis is in the way) as well as a change of fuel filter.

They check out stuff when I ask them too and even repair things without asking like the insulation which seems to need re-sticking every few months.

I get the brakes checked regular but we still have issues with the towing apparatus knocking badly that no-one seems to know how to cure.

I grease, I do the blades, I blow the air filter out and I open up the body and scoop out the mess of dust that builds up but that's as far as my expertise goes.

I do it as our dealers for the 'stamp' effectively so we can get a decent trade in price one day.

Regards

Ty

It's the independent look over and the stamp I want but I am not willing to pay £470+VAT for an oil and filter change!!

When I read your first post I was thinking it can't be much to do that, then I looked at your last post with price! Wow that's a lot to do such a little. Unreal!

I phoned for a hydraulic filter for a gm 220 earlier this year , after sucking air through his teeth he told it was 58 quid! called the factory at got it for 38!!!!!!!

Hydraulic filters vary wildly in quality and price.

 

I bought one for the log splitter I sold Stevie which cost £60 plus vat, I could have got one for under a fiver

That's why I asked you first, knew it would be a full list. I was told what they included and it was only half that lot and if any sharpening was required that would be extra.
