The Joshua Tree Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've booked my 2008 1.8 petrol Titanium in for a full service at a local garage who have a good reputation in the area, i'm also getting them to change the front discs and pads. I'm supplying all the parts, it's basically the labour costs of a full service including pollen filter change, their full service includes includes a full health check including belts, electrics and to make sure all the switches are working etc, and to change the front pads and discs. What would be fair labour costs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 My local garage charges around £40 per hour,I think that's a fair rate.👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypsp Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 around an hours work for all the jobs you need doing £40 to £50 an hour is about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joshua Tree Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Steff Is £156 on the high side just for labour ? Apparently their full service includes diagnostic checks, belt checks, basically a full health check + the fitting of the discs and pads.

stef123 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 A full service includes more than everyone thinks. It's not just changing the filters. What is their hourly rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joshua Tree Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Their rates are apparently £45 per hour + VAT, they have a good reputation in the area, just thought it was a bit on the high side but i guess it all depends on what they are doing for that. It's £156 inclusive of VAT for the labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Sounds about right to me. You could pay £150 at Halfords for a service lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
