In your opinion how much do you think for the following list of repairs at a garage ?
I know I should ask a garage, I just want to know what you guy's think so as I know if they offer a fair price.
A friend of mine is looking at getting a car the same as mine, mk2 ford focus sport 1.8 TDCI. It is up as spares or repair and he wants to know what a garage will charge approx to do the repairs, the car is going rather cheaply.
It needs
. radiator
.glow plugs
.thermostat
.both front steering arms (tie rods)
both front track rod ends
rear brake discs
rear brake pads
front offside wheel bearing
front nearside cv joint gaiter
battery
what is thew approximate price a garage would want to replace the above components ? he is in the north west region of England if that is of any help.
cheers

The hourly rate will again vary quite a bit between them.
Another option is for him to buy all the parts himself from the best priced places he can find and just get the garage to fit them.

Your question is a hard one to answer. It depends on if he takes it to a Ford Main Dealer who will use genuine Ford parts and will probably be the most expensive or if he takes it to a smaller independent garage who may use pattern parts to keep costs down.

Thank you for your reply. I assumed around the same sort of price. I hope he won't be too offended when I ask for £200 labour if I go ahead and do the work for him.
thank you
