£28.50 an hour? That's probably saved you £120 +VAT over a dealer to start with...

Most dealers are in the region of £50-60 an hour for the labour (well, in my experience anyway)

its only £120 for genuine shockers all the rest of the prices look about right apart from the fuel filter thats about £8 overpriced

its only £120 for genuine shockers all the rest of the prices look about right apart from the fuel filter thats about £8 overpriced

Is that the price for a pair of fronts????

I and many on here are wondering how you managed that, the cheapest from Halfords is around £38

you cant get a genuine fuel filter for this for less than £12.29 and thats a mega trade price, a petrol one yes but not a diesel. to be fair our RRP's are just RRP's the garage can charge whatever they want,

To the OP, i think thats very reasonable overall, considering the 4 hours labour charge is so low as well!
