Hi
I just picked up my A2 TDI 1.4 from a local garage who are supposed to have a great reputation etc etc.
I supplied all parts and I instructed the garage to undertake the following work:
1. replace 2 x front suspension springs as well as strut top bearings
2. replace front anti-roll bar and bushes
3. replace 2 x front brake discs and pads
4. reset wheel alignment (not done as he said he couldn't get his equipment onto it)
I got charged £195 plus VAT (£229.13 all-in) for Labour. there was no breakdown of the labour just a labour operations report and no indication of how long was spent on the vehicle. I used this garage before for an older car I had and I thought he charged £35 and hour plus vat.
Have I been ripped off? They are always asking me to fill out the 'good garage scheme' questionnaire so I'm keen to hear your opinions on whether this was value for money or not before I comment on the good garage scheme website.
Thanks in advance,
Martin
PS. Had to get the front wheels aligned at quik-fit for £24.95.
