On January 2 this year ( Happy new year,eh )this year,I had to replace a Broken Front nearside Coil Spring,but the garage insisted on two being replaced.
So £500 plus quid ( needed two front tyres as well,apparently ) and 9 months later,I find out through talking to a Service branch worker,that I didn’t need to have both done.
Is this normal or is the service worker talking 💩 ?.
I have a 2018 2.0 TDI Seat Ateca Excellence 4Drive,I don’t off-road or abuse the Car.
As I’m a Scot,I’m tight with my money 😂,don’t want to think I’ve been ripped off.

I've an Ateca and a Renault Megane. Last year I had both Renault front coil springs relaced for £220 total. I later had to have the rear replaced, therefore it looks as though once one is corroded and breaks, then the others will probably follow.

Yep, normal to replace road springs in pairs - in truth they are colour coded, however after 7 years of road grime one would be very lucky to see the dabs of paint so they are always ordered as a pair.
