just had to take the audi down to the dealer to get a diognostic check as its not quite running right.

£89+VAT an hour labour takes the fookin piss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yup hence why I do all my own maintainence

Whenyou sell the westy Daz? How much did it go for if you don't mind me asking?

 

 

would do it myself and always do, trouble is i dont have the software for that car to check it through

had to let the westy go for 10.5k in the end fook it, cash is cash.

 

did they find what it was tho daz ?

matt

 

yea clogged throttle body and number 2 plug lead. not what i thought but aint really had chance to look at it

just rang me, £135 all in. so not to bad really. im just a tight arse student. lol

 

thats cheap

bmw is 90-150 quid and hour PLUS the vat!

Alex

 

know what you mean mate, i had to shell out £440 for a timing belt on my A4

 

dont fookin tell me that

tell me yours wernt the 2.8 v6

 

no its the 2.4 v6

 

fook

 

They did me a quote for a clutch on my S3, minimum of £1200 but they couldn't guarantee the hours, fair enough I suppose but a rough idea seemed fair!!

 

Blimey, were to cheap here then only £48 per hour here.......

 

and this is even before you get to blackpool mate, nice exspensive week for you then see you 2moz

 

A know of Ford garages that are over £100 p/h.

 

rob, youre not "cheap" you're "cheapER"

 

Only £45+vat PH here too. Deffo too cheap i reckon.

 

Thing is you are paying a company, not just one man...so it aint all that bad!

 

stu, i thought u were about 30something?

 

Must have been mates rates pal

 

I charge £50 an hour or more like £15- 20 on restorations.


Alex

 

aint steve scott the cheepest labour charge, i heard was about 30 quid a hour ( but then he may be a slow worker )

think that takes the piss at work they was asked to fit a second hand engine and also do the cam belt, not a job we normally do

anyway the mechanic fits the engine and then when the engine is fitted he the starts to change the cambelt

reason for it is thats how the manual says to do a cam belt

even better the customer actually paid it


oh and ford charge 105.75 per hour including vat, just they take too long working on cars ( 5 hours to do a clutch on a sierra cosworth )

 

thats his age i think

 

You dont need to use main dealers for a diagnostic test .

we charge £25.00 for a code read for engine ,ABS.Air bag ect
