New spring prices

Following on from THIS thread I managed to get my car booked into VX for a new pair of springs.

Anyone want to guess the price for parts!

Well more and less than that. £180 for the springs - one pair - and £90 fitting, which from a main dealer i didn't think was too bad! (well for the fitting anyway)

the price i said with vat is £179.78,as to fitting time the book time is 1.3 hours so that can vary depending on what the labour rate is,plus with masterfit the actual labour price is variable in that they can charge what they want,it looks like you are being charged £60 an hour so that would be £91.65

That makes me feel a little better as i was wondering if they quoted with or without Vat. I guess your at a VX dealer or something? Does that mean you were cheating

i used to work for a vauxhall dealer,but i left over a year ago,i also have a genuine copy of tis so i can get labour times etc,the labour time could still be plus vat but vauxhall dealers have to quote with vat unless they mention at the time,also some dealers charge less labour on private cars over a certain age
