Yikes, bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question depending if your garage is a bunch of rat bags.... I'd have thought it wouldn't have taken more than an hour for each item, but if you allow a couple of hours each item then that's going to be £120 ish probably... (maybe +vat too..) Did you not want to ask before they did the work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard150 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 as said , allways ask the price before saying yes to having the work done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynFordFiesta Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I should have asked but I dropped the car in today at 8 and telt them to just fix what had to be fixed and send me an invoice,But now I have had sat down and thought about it I dont want screwed over, The garage aren't screw overs they will charge what they done and no more but I have no idea how long it would have taken to do the work.

iantt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 5 mins to do tilt handle, and window reg 1 hr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 5 mins to do tilt handle, and window reg 1 hr So 2 hours labour then.... I don't think garages work in increments smaller than 1 hr.... I dropped my car round for an MOT to a place a few years ago and they phoned me to tell me that one headlight wasn't level and "do I want them to just sort it quickly?" naturally I thought, yeh sure that'd be great, saves me coming down to level it and then waiting for a retest..... ...charged me an hours labour for it.

GrahamJC Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Under S15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act, if no price has been agreed there is an implied term that the price must be reasonable. In other words, roughly what other businesses would charge for comparable work. Let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynFordFiesta Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Should have the invoice In a few days time I will keep you guys updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJC Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Whoops - just noticed you are in Scotland. I do not think a lot of the SGSA applies there but I think you have similar rights under common law concerning price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredfox Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Under S15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act surely that would cover the whole of uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJC Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 As far as I am aware, the SGSA applies mainly to England, Wales and Northern Ireland but if Martyn contacts his local trading standards department I am sure they will be able to give him a definitive answer.
