VR6 Lee 0 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) How much would you expect a garage to charge for fitting a new bearing and abs ring to front drivers side on vr6. Parts will be provided as well Edited October 27, 2012 by davidwort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 25, 2012 £50ish maybe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted October 25, 2012 2,5 hour of labour so usually 150+ pounds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Lee 0 Posted October 25, 2012 bloke has charged me 250 quid... not paid it yet. How do I go about complaining? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted October 25, 2012 I had a clutch fitted for that kind of money :! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benjevw 10 Posted October 25, 2012 Sounds really overpriced to me! Especially as you supplied the parts. How long did it take him? Definitely shouldn't take 2.5 hours! Maybe if he was doing both....with hooves Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emu 0 Posted October 25, 2012 250 is way off, front bearing from a-z takes about 2h, it can be done faster but mechanics are usually not in a hurry Did you ask garage to fix it without asking how much it will be ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 25, 2012 It's an hours work (in a proper equiped garage) plus wheel allignment - so £200 max, £150 is what I'd expect to pay at somewhere like Stealth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted October 25, 2012 Wasn't that bloke off rogue traders last night was it ? £250 is way off though. I'd say half that would be something like, though as I do all the work myself, I'm a little out of the loop on garage labour rates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Lee 0 Posted October 25, 2012 Think I will email him and say I got a quote somewhere else and it was half the price so no idea where he got 250 from... nah it wasnt that chubby man from rogue traders Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 25, 2012 How can a man that big and fat even work on cars? Loved the £20 extra wiring fee to fix a fault he created :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
