Fooking hell !!!!

I first spoke to my brothers mate about doing mine (he's a weekend mechanic) he said it will take 2hrs roughly, but he done one for me before on another golf i had and the clip came off so didn't want to use him again, when i just got the quote of my garage they said hour and half job so that hour and half labour plus part.
