Hello,
I recently got my 2005 Mondeo Ghia x serviced. I asked the garage to look over the car to see if anything was needing done.
I need Front brake disks & pads, Os outer CV boot burst, needs anti freeze changing, play in N/S rear wheel baring (so needs replacing) and anti roll bar boot upper burst
I was quoted £460 to get everything sorted, is this a good price or how much should I been looking to pay?
Thanks alot in advance

Thanks for your replys, I have already paid for the service so this is all separate work from a different garage.
I am not sure if they are fitting a new o/s driveshaft or replacing the boot, I just showed them the list & asked to get it all fixed.. So im guessing they would need to replace it all?
Thanks again

Find out what their labour rate is. Most garages pull off the quoted hours from auto data, then quote their labour per hour plus parts.
It works in your favour sometimes, auto data quoted 3.5 hours to do a heater matrix on my wife's car, so they quoted that and it ended up taking 2 days.

Pads & discs £150 max
Cv boot remove and replace (ask them to use a stretchy boot saves on labour time) £50 max takes about 25 mins
Anti freeze £40 drain and re-fill
Rear bearing £90 max
Anti roll bar link about £8 to buy and two nuts need undoing to fit it the wheels are already off for pads and discs so £40 max I'd say including parts
Total £370
I'd call around get some quotes sounds like some people like overpaying

Fair play to them for standing over a quote though

Any garage that trusts autodata for something like a heater matrix musnt be working at cars long ! lol Some stuff on it the times are just mental, and with most cars anything involving heater matrix is a total nightmare of a job. Sometimes worse.
