Lol @ Renault, what a quote!!!!!

[Da]

Just rung my local 'stealer' to get a quote for simply fitting 2 front springs, which I have so this is purely for labour...
The woman I spoke to said it will be £210 including VAT!!!!!!!!!!! To which I replied how long does it take, a week? lol! No she replied, about 3 hours...

hmmm....think i'l stick to my original plan of Sunday spent outside the house with car in bits! lol!

:rasp:
:quiet:

£70 an hour

woopy f**k !!!

is that 2 hours trying to figure out what needs doing then 1 hour working on them?

 

[chris-b]

Thats cheap compared to Audi,our last service was £404. parts were £170,the rest was labour!£89 per hour labour and wait for it.....










£60 to change a light bulb!!!!

[Da]

lol, the £70 per hour i can deal with, but...3 hours to change springs for a trained mechanic!!?? Who they kidding? :dapprove:

 

[Neil G]

Ludicrous

I wonder how much of that the mechanic actually gets?

 

[Fred@BTM]

You must include the time it takes for them to fit some worn out discs and pads and make your shock aborbers suddenly spring a leak.

 

[Da]

[Daz_172]

is that between tea breaks and two lucn breaks, shouldnt take anymore than an hour or so at the most to do all 4 springs never mind about 2 of them.
