Hehe just got my car back :D

They spent 24.5 hours on it, most of this was testing and diagnostics.

So: 24.5 hours labour x £50 per hour = £1225 + £85 coil pack = 1310 + 17.5%VAT = £1539.25 :( and I already had the dizzy (£350)

But they said that it would be unfair to charge me that, it was too much, so they charged me 4 hours labour instead :D The bill came to around £315 :D

Now personally I think thats a bargain. The young mechanic (24) worked his ar5e off and got quite upset each time after a new idea failed

[dawolf]

Very good price considering the amount of work involved then

[Jesus]

Glad you got it sorted mate!

Bargain price... someone was looking down on you from above!

They would never have got away with charging you for 24 hrs of labour on that job. They should only charge you for reasonable time for diagnosing the problem, and the actual time taken to fit new parts.

Congrats mate, and welcome back to the world of the living
