Garage pricing ok or rip off.

Quoted €500 for this work (full service and bearings - I knew there was a few more bits too). Collected it was €788. He said he underestimated bearing price. I looked up the bearings (rear 05 cmax) and they do seem more expensive than standard focus ones but not by the margin given. Was I ripped off or are they reasonable (i.e. should I avoid in future or safe to use again).


1.6 petrol CMAX 05.

Wheel Bearings X 2 = €227
Front wish bone bushing €79.45
Pollen Filter €13.62
Rear Brake Pads €29.83
Engine Mounting €73.78
Spark Plugs €29.74
Oil Filter €11.69
5W-30 OIL €39.50
Labour €272.40

Total: €788.83

That is pretty dam good there for all that work (including labour!) holy sheet. He is under pricing by a fair wack. Go get a second opinion on that service with another garage and you can easily add another €200.

Thanks for the reply Hal1. They do seem honest but its hard to know if your not mechanically inclined!

That was definitely a lot of work to get done for €788 you did better out of it than him.
