Hourly Charge rates!

[Mitching]

My house mate at uni, he paid £130 - which was the hourly rate - for half an hour.
This was a house visit though. At 2am.


She didn't look like a mechanic though. He doesn't even drive.

your paying 60 quid an hour at a local garage? local garages round here are more like 30,40 pound an hour, i work for vw and theres 2 diffrent labour rates they charge, its about 95 quid an hour for newer cars, but for older cars and good customers its around 65 70

My local is £60 per hour. I'd rather spend all day struggling and sweating, while trying to enjoy my self, fixing my car than pay huge costs like that. I'll never use a garage unless I have to!

Money well spent imo.

My local garage charges £55 an hour which I think is reasonable.

Just phoned VW in Altrincham, Cheshire asking about a new part and was quoted £166 an hour labour on top of the part price! I new the stealers are expensive but £166 ph! Highway robbery!

There are my local VW garage and I have had some work done over the years I have lived here on my two Golfs and Polo that I have owned and never been charged that rate. There is a lad who worked there who is actually pretty good for a dealership, really helpful.

Stay away from their after sales customer service team though, had a problem with my Polo 5 years ago which needed some work doing which fell under a recall , so I could get it for free, but they refused to even admit it was a recall. One email to head office though and I was allowed the work to be done for free...but the Altrincham branch refused to do it and I was sent to the one in Trafford
