I had my car in for its annual service yesterday. On collecting it I was told I needed to have two Bushels and the Wishbone replaced. I was quoted €1.500 for the parts and labour.
I need to know is the about right???

€1.50, €150 or €1500?

cathorio · 03-04-2014 7:14pm

Colm, € 1500.

bushels can be expensive feckers ......and can be a right bastard to fit

you are being screwed big time

No way in hell it would cost anything close to that.
Bring car somewhere else and get a proper quote.
Bushings are quite cheap and wishbone too. Add an hour or two labour at 50/h.

That is the craziest price for those two things I have ever heard of, absolutely insane! :eek:

Try ardfallen motorcare near musgraves - they are good lads

cathorio · 04-04-2014 7:12pm

To each of you my sincere appreciation for your help and advice.

toyotaavensis · 04-04-2014 7:14pm

where abouts in cork are you?

cathorio · 04-04-2014 7:29pm

I'm on the South Side near Douglas..........

toyotaavensis · 04-04-2014 7:31pm

given how close you are to ardfallen i would give them a shout.
Also dont assume that the lad who wanted 1500 from you was honest when he said the parts were damaged.

cathorio · 04-04-2014 7:35pm

Biko and Toyota Avensis My Hero's.
The Garage I go to is a very reputable garage near the "Magic Roundabout". They were/ are the main Toyota dealers in Cork. ????????? &#55357;&#56397;

toyotaavensis · 04-04-2014 7:36pm

Would expect that they would be honest but get a second opinion anyways.

cathorio · 04-04-2014 7:52pm

Will do....I have already checked out the cost of the parts on Mick'sGarage and they are not too bad. Thank you again for everything.&#55357;&#56397;

You'd get an entire Yaris Verso for that.

Crazy going to a main dealer with a car that age.

cathorio · 05-04-2014 12:11pm

Colm I bought the car there and have taken it to that Dealer every year since.

Of course they'll keep it in tip-top condition for you, and an old car is as entitled to proper maintainance as a new one, but there comes a point (like this) where you have to question the economics of it.

cathorio · 05-04-2014 5:04pm

I agree with you 100% Colm........it's time I cut the "Unpmbilical Cord".

JohnBoy26 · 05-04-2014 5:18pm

Are you sure they said €1500? There's been some mix up somewhere imo.

cathorio · 05-04-2014 5:58pm

Unfortunetly not John........I was so shocked.......... that is why I put the question to Boards.
