Perhaps they understood the job differently, did you just want to buy the lock or was there labour too?

Probably because people will pay it.

My guess is that one or the other made a mistake.

Did you quote your chassis number to both dealers?

It certainly pays to shop around.

I was buying a bumper and a few other bits from Vw recently. Prices were roughly the same. I found a genuine light in a motor factors for half the price the Vw dealer wanted. There was one part (a chrome strip) that varied between 55+vat and 110+vat. Other than that they were somewhat similar. None the same.
