#1: MOT Fail.. Author: JayM, Location: SW ScotlandPosted: Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:55 am ---- Just failed MOT and been given a quote for repair by the garage, obviously going to ring round on Monday but wondered if the prices were good/bad/what I should expect from other garages..
Nearside rear (main) Brake pipe excessively corroded
Offside rear (main) Brake pipe excessively corroded
Rear (center) Brake pipe excessively corroded
Nearside front Anti-roll bar linkage worn and seriously weakened
Front brake pad(s) less than 1.5mm thick.
He just pulled prices from his head as it's late on a Saturday, but quoted the following:
All break pipes (inc labour) £80
ARB linkage: £15
Break Pads £20
Labour for pads/linkage: £30
Total £145
Is this reasonable, should I be looking for cheaper, or is it about the going rate? (currently in West Yorkshire if it makes any difference)
Thanks.

Oops I can't believe I done that, I do know the difference, honest!
And thanks all, I'll ring a couple to see if they'll beat his price, if not it'll be off back to the same place

#10: Re: MOT Fail.. Author: JayM, Location: SW ScotlandPosted: Sat Mar 17, 2012 1:10 pm ---- He said I had 10 days to take it back for a partial retest, didn't mention a cost for it, and didn't even try to quote me for the repairs until I asked, MOT was only £35 anyways

That won't be a dealership at those prices
I'd take him up on it, that quote is good!
