As title really.

And what do they charge for that in Labour only (or an estimate!)

I thought they didnt do their own work anyhow

Yea, i heard they use a local engineering company, didnt think they owned it tho.

How much they charge, labour, for a rebuild tho (say a cossie engine), someone said 1500quid, and that sounds bollocks to me, much higher idve thought.

No they don't.

The company next door do there work.

Burton power own the building and charge rent, they also put a mark up on the blokes work as its sold through them.

Between them, ZVHTURBO and CABRIOTURBO are right. The company who does the engineering work is called CTM and owned by a guy called Charlie. Burtons own the building and let it out to CTM who do the engineering work for them at trade and then Burtons whack a retail mark up on it for the customer My mate Baz works at CTM, and I had a mate at Burtons but he got fired
