Query on cost of repairs

    Hi, Could anyone give me an idea as to a pricing please?

    He was told that the brake discs and pads need replacing and this is fine as they do but now they're saying there's a problem with the handbrake and that it also needs to be fixed.(??)

    He was quoted 210 for the brakes but now they want 350 to cover brakes and handbrake. Is this price too steep or not?

    If you go on into a motor factors & price the parts or go online to micksgarage.com you can get the price.

    No you can't. Labour is the big cost here. A sticky handbrake can be a right pain depending on the car so your statement really isn't very helpful at all.

    I presume that quote includes VAT and labour?

    Thanks for the replies everyone! He paid it anyway. Yea it included vat. It's seems ok based on the breakdown of the receipt.
