Save you all. 3080.15 pounds was the total bill. 👌

Thanks for that info very good vid. I really am quite surprised at the amount of things that go wrong, wear out, fail on the Bentley Continental which results in a great expense to rectify. I do realise that having, owning a super car is an expense, but at the initial cost you would think there would be quality built in, not just opulent leather and trim but quality reliable mechanics ! I’m seriously considering getting one ( not new ) but am now having doubts when I see so much adverse comments about the car. One of my cars is a mk1 Kia Sorento 4x4, 16 years old, only thing I’ve done in the 7 years I’ve had it is replace an injector, a new battery and discs and pads, plus annual service. Clean as a whistle. Even had the original exhaust ! I use it mainly for taking my German Shepard out and any off road use. It will probably be going strong long after the Bentley has given up the ghost !

you need to just post a graphic of all the cost and final total ....cause i dont even know what your saying What year is your car? how many miles ? all that stuff should be listed in the description

You can buy the mansion, can you pay the tax or housekeeping

awesome video! I'm looking to get a Continental in the 2006-2009 range. My biggest worry is the maintenance expense. Your video is very helpful. I've got a Merccedes S class now, and the mechanics are bleeding me dry!

Enjoyed that thank you Zak.

The clean outs of the debris and the fuel filler unblock you could have done yourself easily. The corroded horn backet you could have also done yourself with a universal bracket for 20 pounds. I Def you encorange you to do some basic repairs yourself especially when it's simple replacements and cleanings. Of course, time is money, so it's all what's important to you.

Very helpful video with useful explanation. Thank you for posting this

I am a big fan of your channel, I own a 2006 Bentley GT yes it does cost a lot of money (mine just cost me $9000) but it sure is a dream when driving!

Thanks for the video.very helpful . I own a 2007 GT, and I can say, because it is a VW engine, ZF6 automatick gear box , many things are from an A8, Phaeton or even a Passat. I do all that I can myself at home. Spare parts are not made by Bentley ( eg spark plugs are NGK , intake temp sensors are Valeo or any other brand, and so on.... ) so you can save tons of money buying them , in a regular auto parts shop, of course, they won,t be wraped in a fancy black Bentley box, but......honestly, WHO CARES ! It is very helpful to buy the pen drive with all the info about the car, and how to do things on it. Cheers. David

Good video,, be good to see the pipes that came off the car, also a tip for you, price the pipes for a VW Phaeton or Audi A8 as they share the same platform and the part prices can be hugely less than the Bentley branded item,, you could check this out and then if they say you need something then you could supply the part and have them fit it at £90/hr..

@Tom Connelly - No they are not based in W7 - but i DO KNOW the place you are talking about there. I decided they were not right now me. How was ur experience with them?

Love your videos and just subscribed. Just about to purchase a 2015 continental gt v8 s. I live close to Shepherd’s Bush. Any raccomandations for a Bentley specialist? Who do you use? Thanks!

Really helpful 👌 thanks 😊

Great video!

i definitely was tempted to buy , but I had a very expensive Rolls Royce previously and am very concerned about the constant pay out of cash for show .

A lot if what the labour costs is astronomical I took my bentley to my local garage who charged me far less than half for all that you had done plus more like brakes remap and even cracked screen. So when I took it to a Bentley specialist all they said that needed doing was a top up of gear oil. My cost just under a thousand and my benley runs like a dream

Try Flying B Independent Bentley Specialists. We are next to the factory and use only ex-factory mechanics and specialists, but at independent prices.

People that purchase a Bentley, don't do it to save money.

if your car is older than a 2013 model you should just consider yourself to be a Volkswagen owner and plan to fix most of this yourself. the local bentley shop in the USA charges about 250$ USD an hour in labor. the bad news for you is when your vacuum lines and solenoids go bad, and they will, it is an engine out job.

Bentley and VW/Audi share some parts, so you can buy the equivalent and exact same part under the VW part number and save even more money. I was told the equivalent Bentley part is marked up by about 10x, but haven’t confirmed that.

Very interesting, as I'm buying a second hand Mk 3 2018 onwards in 2022 👍

You can do most things. My other half recently replaced the near side suspension strut. It took him about an hour. He also replaced the rear far side brake servo. I think that was under an hour. But, he's a mechanic and we have a fully equipped workshop including diagnostic equipment. I love the Bentley 😍

$4,346 USD?.. Mannn fu*k that sh*t!!

It's a machine. And various issues of breakdown will occur. And the costs to repair are imminent.

Nice vid, I've been eyeing the seemingly quite cheap Conti GTs on Auto Trader for a while now, considering my currently daily Mondeo cost me less than your service bill a year ago I may steer clear, as much as I love the Continentals!

He looks like he can be Ray Romano’s brother!!!!

K honestly thought this was going to be a lot more money. That's actually not that bad.

Great video, next time you need a service take it to "Wraith Continental" independent Bentley specialist in Barnet. Your bill would have been half. I've been taking my Gt to them for years.

They do not call these big luxo vehicles land yachts for nothing ...they both cost a fare chunk of your weekly pay just to look good. Try it once to get out of your system. I now fly a plane which is no better of course.

Mirza I am contemplating or thinking of buying one but after watching this video I don't think I will be getting one until next year.

Surprised about the amount of corrosion. Is the car out in the Winter with salt on the road or something?

Hi probably missed previous videos what year is the car and if not new and you bought it last year what did you pay for the car

THIS MAN ALSO PAID 980 POUNDS FOR A NEW FLUX CAPACITOR

Good video. Service cost, labour cost is almost the same as Merc, I paid 3k for my Merc service last year its 15 plate.

Best thing to do with Bentley is when looking for parts get the part numbers, some parts may be VW parts and be alot cheaper, also use a VW Audi specialist instead of a Bentley specialist.

What is the old adage about a certain person and his cash.........?

I’ve got two bentleys and I get a VW Audi specialist who is also Bentley trained to service and fix my cars at £50 per hour’ and had no problems for the last 5 years with their work’ including W12 engine out job for a fraction of the price. I also do most of the work and service myself as it’s no different to any Audi or VW in terms of ease. Main dealers are just total rip-offs! Do not let them scare you into paying their prices just because they think you can afford it by a brand of never never, you can do most of the servicing yourselves. I just bought a new 2020 Bentley and after the manufacture warranty ends, I will either service it myself or get the VW Audi specialist down the road to look after it for me.

Guys is a 2007 Bentley continental with 56000 miles a bit high ? Where would you draw the line in regards to milage? Thanks in advanced

Any Prestige car is a bomb to run and fix.Just the way it is.Would take a Lexus anyday though.....

As a mechanic I always tell my customers luxury cars get luxury bills the two go hand in hand I have no sympathy.

Nice cars are like beautiful women , they cost money to keep & maintain .

Honestly, I think you'd be paying more for these same services in America. 3500 pounds is a steal. In America, that bill would have been easily $5000 plus....easily. Not only that but your monthly insurance in America would be high. The UK is the best place to own a bentley.

My 2008 gt speed has 12000 miles only and is due a 10 year service and Bentley has quoted me over £10000. Due to covid and cancer it's sat in the garage for 2 years unfortunately but will be due out soon hopefully.

No problem ,you are a big shot.

I'm still in shock at the number of things that seems to go wrong at the same time! And it seems that corrosion is the main enemy of the car. Can't the manufatcturers do something about that considering the car costs a fortune to buy?

Hi Zak!!!!

DAMN! Did you at least get a reach around????

I sold mine after 2 years got a very good example only 17K miles and at a great price so I thought the the only reason I keep it that long was because I am friends with a Bosch certified mechanic and saved me a ton of money but the parts are just Ludovicus expensive and the engine is utter garbage engineered to make it as difficult as possible to do the slightest maintenance! I got a Maserati Granturismo S instead way cheaper to maintain and beautiful car!

Hi Zak even Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask, that's a horrendous bill. What year and how many miles are on your car? Mick, Northern Ireland 👍

it would have been nice to show the car parts as you went through the list

Price its ok,this things must be done once 10 years..now car is ok for few years.

Hay...greating from indonesia..🙏🙏🙏

Wow started out alright but that pipe for £800 odd 😳 seems abit over the top ! I wonder if some of the things wouldn’t have been that bad at Bentley , I know the hourly would have been more but I wonder if they wouldn’t have pulled your pants down as much , that horn bracket for £180 seems abit trumpy as well for a simple looking bracket, but it is a nice car and it will cost more than a normal boring euro box so it is what it is !

But then all the major thing that could go wrong with a Bentley were done by the previous owner who only drove it on the weekends and had it garahed for most part of the year as he lived I the south of france and drove a ford kuga to take him there. It was a bargain even the paint job was totally detailed. I was just fortunate to get such a low mileage car for such a low price.

Take your car to a Dealer and get a report and estimates for repairs only. Then do yourself what you can then an aftermarket expert. Save 50%.

That’s what happens when you take it to a dealership. They charge you more for their labor than the actual parts itself. That’s why they’re call stealerships 🤦🏻‍♂️

Was looking at buying a Bentley 2nd hand, but after watching here and seeing other reviews I think there's too much high risk of very expensive bills even when avoiding Bentley dealers.

Can't believe the parts were corroded. It's not that old of a car. I live on the west coast of the United States and it probably rains as much as it does where you live and we don't get too much corrosion as that. Did you inspect the parts? They could be pulling the wool over your eyes.

Bently are definitely worth it if u get a good deal on a used one, you can literally just rent it out a couple times a year and pay for the repairs needed

Front and rear brakes need to be done why did you decline that ?

yes its called the bentley tax same colour as mine nice i go to him as well sometimes lovley man and son you look like a top dr am i right sir

Do you garage the car or is it left in the elements

I was close on the 895 pounds. I said 800

Long before you got to the total, I had decided never to buy ripoff Bentley. In fact the horn bracket was the switch off point.

What is the average service cost since you purchased this car? Please share

Alas I will sell it to go towards an extension on the house. But will buy one again very soon after, much to my wife's displeasure.

Bro. I can’t really real sorry for you. You drove a Bentley.

This is completely comparable to even a basic RAM or Jeep at that mileage, both in maintenance cost and hourly rates, but I never heard the year of your vehicle which definitely makes a difference. You seam upset of the price, but I'm honestly surprised that's all it was.

Damn what you do go thru an automatic wash once a day ???

Mean while in the real world i just paid 172 euros for a full service on my focus !!!!

This is nothing. You’re driving a $250,000 vehicle.

My biggest fear would be the engine coming out for minor things eg starter. Then again for something else 😱

This is why I’m going to buy a used Lexus ls460l or ls600hl so I dont need to worry about repairs

Absolute piss take by Bentley ! £180 for a bracket to hold the horns ! £800 for a pipe ! There really is no need for these prices

WTF 3k and no actual work done on the engine gearbox or transmission !! You need to find a good indy matey.

So how much is 3000 lb in American money ?

Buying a Bentley is buying a money pit. Giving time to become its mechanic. Just buy something reliable, rent luxury.

Bruh for real ???? I’m in India and I own a w204 c250 . The price I pay for an annual car service is 1 lakh which is roughly £1000 . I guess considering the ratio of superiority between a c class and a Bentley , £3000 seems super reasonable for a car like Bentley

What year is the car??

Everybody loves Raymond

I can't help thinking that these mechanics make a mountain out of a molehill. I understand that a Bentley will cost more to service than a Ford.

Pounds equals how much in Dollars?😮

This is why I’ll never purchase certain foreign cars out of warranty. 90lbs to clear debris? Ridiculous. They clearly replaced things that didn’t need to be to ad labor cost. It’s so hard to find good honest shops now

Yeah the thingamabob was clogged....and the trachlometer wasn't spinning like it should either....

The metals used on the Bentley parts seem very prone to corrosion.

People must be totally mad to pay these prices ,you pay around £150,000 for a car and then it drops in bits MAD MAD MAD

What year GT?

You go to a bentley dealership you going to get hit with a big bill along with them trying to as much work as possible out of your car if you know what you're doing with a simple tool kit you can do it yourself. To be honest there not that hard to work on no different then a normal vehicle I got a range rover do all my own work up to a degree plus all my services. Before anyone says about dealership services I had a xj jaguar had full service history by them all there did was drop the oil and filter the air filter had never been done most dealership just rip offs who over charge just because they can.

I can't believe they charged you £22 for unblocking the petrol drainage tube. It takes 10 seconds to do with a air pump or a metal wire. Brother these people seem like they are out to rip you off as much as they can.

Either your car has been parked outside for an extended period of time or Bentley parts are poorly rustproofed. I have a 20 year old Porsche. The hoses and cooling tubing looks like new after 165k miles.

If you won't a super car..then the super service comes with it..but maybe we all would love a Bentley..but I would definitely think how much this how much that...if we all did this we wouldn't have a Bentley I would love a Bentley but I'm afraid I love my house more someone said some people would remortgage to buy the car of their dreams...that has to be the worst advice I ever heard...its only a car...honestly good people kahn will only have petrol cars of the roads in I reckon in five years..

That all seems very expensive for a fancy Volkswagen.

Bro why you let people take you for basic things. Rules of of business ask what they will conduct on your car and see if you can do it yourself or shop around.

Damn!!!!!

Meanwhile i payed usd 550 to service my honda civic 👀 (50k service)

You were lucky half these items were down to total neglect of the vehicle.

150 £/hr is insane, Bentley or not. The work of a mechanic is the same, screwing, wrenching etc ... and I hear too often the word corrosion 🤔 Are u sure u have British-German car? 😯Sounds more like an Italian one of the 80s being legendary for corrosion like Alfa Romeo or Lancia.

Has anyone fitted a turbo diesel in a Bentley?

#zakmirza Nice video and nice car. Do you realise your number plate is illegal and could cost you £1,000?
