    What was wrong with the old plates?

    I spent 5 years working for an Alfa dealer, finished back in '97. In old money we charged £35 for the first hour and £25 per hour after for a one man visit..
    Parts and vat onto that.
    Convert that to €€ and then add 18 years inflation and I'd say its is similar enough hourly charge..

    Plate coolers were my pet hate :(

    85 call out fee doesn't seem excessive ( there's probably dearer and cheaper out there) - assume he had to come back to fit the plates- no idea though on the price of the plates-

    Did similar here 2 yrs ago. Replaced 27 (I think) plates. Came to €750. It's not overcharging just plain honest to god commercial day light robbery.
