It works in your favour sometimes, auto data quoted 3.5 hours to do a heater matrix on my wife's car, so they quoted that and it ended up taking 2 days.
Any garage that trusts autodata for something like a heater matrix musnt be working at cars long ! lol Some stuff on it the times are just mental, and with most cars anything involving heater matrix is a total nightmare of a job. Sometimes worse.
Fair play to them for standing over a quote though
