I'd say the labour was fairly reasonable, there were a fair few sh!tty jobs there that needed doing.  They've over charged big time on the parts though!

Really.....cheapest prices from eurocarparts....

* Rear Axle bushes. £16.74
* MOT. £50
* Tracking. £20+
* New rear brakes. Discs £19.50 each, Pads £12.90 pair
* New Track rod ends.£14.70 each
* New wishbone bushes. £9.12 just rear bushes
* New Front shocks. Sachs £67.20 each
* New front shock mounts. £14.32 each
* Something about nos arm?.???

I make that at £270 for just parts plus the MOT (£30-50), the tracking (£20-50) and the VAT (£102). £510 seems a good price with the labour.

Not as bad as my old car.  :evil: The list was so long ,they were about to stop me taking it home.The car was mint.  :embarassed: I only did 400 mile from the last mot (dry use only) they loved it.  :undecided: Its got no brakes ,there leaking, why does it stop and the fluid never went down.  :angry: Stripped and scrapped it as i cant see what there on about.  :cry: Thing that pissed me off is they toke 2 hours to mot it and a bloke before me had the same car (sh!tter) he passed.  :sick: Had a car before, it fail. Ok ill fix it.The guy went home left me and my dad just sitting there. A guy ended up locking up and saw us, can i help you. Yeah, my cars getting motd.......did it pass, old man said yeah.  :kiss: It passed as a fail.  :rolleyes:
