I needed this work done quickly as I'm driving up to London on Thursday, so I just took it in to the garage where I had my MOT done a few months ago.
I told them I needed the 60,000 mile service and that at 6 years the timing belt was also due. When they started work, they found the water pump was leaking so I told them to replace that too.
I've just had a call to say it's ready to collect and that the total is £859.84 all in!
They told me the service was £308.08+VAT and the rest was £469.58+VAT, which included the timing belt, tensioner, idler, water pump and anti-freeze.
Obviously I'm an idiot for not getting a wrtitten quotation but I expected it to be under £500. I had the cam belt, tensioner and idler down at around £130, and the water pump at around £100, which means they've charged me ~£200 labour to fit them, PLUS another ~£200 labour for the rest of the service.
Am I being naive or is this wildy overpriced?
