Hi all, We have a 2010 Octavia RS 147 TSI wagon (estate). Love the car. But we've had some surprising repair quotes from our local dealer and would appreciate any feedback/second opinion if this is reasonable, or whether we look elsewhere. All Australian $ (parts and labour). 1. $900 to repair the chrome on the gear shift. We hadn't even noticed any flaking so we just said don't do it. 2. $1850 to replace 1 of the roof rails. (My wife accidentally drove into the carport with kid's bike on the roof - the bike was unharmed). They suggested the part would be $450, so $1400 labour seems excessive. 3. $530 to replace washer bottle 4. $300 to replace coolant bottle #1 we ignored. #2 I was wondering how hard it is to replace a roof rail myself? It looks like only about 6 bolts, or is it much more complicated than that? #3 and #4 I'll give the benefit of the doubt. I assume maybe they're not easily swapped in/out. We can claim #2 on insurance but I hate the idea of inflating price just because it is insured (if that's what is happening). It's almost a write-off if we'd damaged 2 roof rails! Thanks for any help.
