Default How Much?

How much roughly would you say a garage would charge inc labour for the following on my 98 Pug 306 TD:

6K service
Fix Air Con (Think it's just a re-gas)
Supply / fit new glow plugs

Cheers

Adam.

That seem's fairly cheap to what I have been quoted tbh!! I have tried a few local places and all quoted around the same amount, Ł100 odd for the service, another Ł100 odd for the glow plugs inc labour and vat (pug wanted Ł176 alone for this) and about 60 for the a/c. Looking at Ł300.

Don't have the time or willing to do it myself tbh mate! I'd rather pay them tbh! It's not like a good ole CVH, i should imagine these are a bugger to work on, so understand if the labour is pretty high!

labour aint high mate at all, the parts and vat are to be taken into consideration

the labour would be about 100 quid of it

airfilter 9 quid

oil filter 4 quid

pollen filter 18 quid

oil 10 quid

sump plug 3 quid

glow plugs 40 quid

all plus vat obv

the car will take about 3 hours to finish in total so that aint alot of cash imo as the labour rate is about 50 quid per hour
