Fitting costs

[bristolsparks]

Hi guys, just after abit of advice on fitting costs

I have been qouted £422 inc VAT for supple and fit a Milltech non res catback system for my 2003 cupra

Aslo been quoted 5 hours labour (around £260) for fitting of my Koni Str.t kit

do you think theses prices are good?
cheers

I had a quote for a miltek cat back on my cupra at £350 fitted, which i thought was a good price

And £260 for labour seems a little high at £52 per hour, does this include the VAT? Also 5 Hours seems a long time to do this really.

I would try and get a few other quotes for the work you want doing IMO You could always buy the miltek seperatly and get it fitted somewhere else.

thanks Clueless, ill have a little look around and see what other prices i can get

Yes £52 does include vat

I'd say closer to 2-2.5 hrs than 5 to fit a suspension kit.

There will be a little independant that will do it for alot cheaper, Its a matter of calling a few up. Unless anybody on here can recomend a a good place in your area to save you the bother.

You could always do it yourself That would save you cash that could be spent on other goddies

 

[bristolsparks]

well this is a good place i got recommended from here!!

260 is miles too much for fitting suspension kit..

2 hours max plus alignment

150 at most.

might aswell add 260 to the 300quid koni strt and buy a top quality kit and diy fit.

 

[bristolsparks]

think i need to find a different garage then, streetwise automotive is the place i use in bristol and it was recommended from here, begtter get searching for different places in or around bristol

 

[james walker]

or diy it.... very easy to do.

 

[bristolsparks]

cool, might look into it, my mate used to build mini's so he might be able to help,

what about the milltech price james, any good?

 

[james walker]

100 quid seems steep to fit cat back aswell tbh..

60 tops id say for that.

I'm getting my KW springs and shocks fitted by a respected independent garage for a LOT less than £260! Think that is rather steep to be honest....

Edit: £100 fitting for a cat back is steep too. I had my full turbo back fitted for that.

 

[bristolsparks]

well i think the catback will cost around 380 so will only cost 50ish to fit, i think thats pretty good

unless i can find it any cheaper online somewhere

 

[james walker]

wheres that from mate... thats more like it tbh.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

well i think the catback will cost around 380 so will only cost 50ish to fit, i think thats pretty good

There £325 on ebay

 

[james walker]

think the 380 was fitted adam?

 

[bristolsparks]

no, 380 for the catback alone, bager5 quoted 380 plus 50 fitting

 

[james walker]

buy it from the bay then and ask bill to fit it, or he may price match.. dont wanna rob him of business but were in a credit crunch you know.

 

[bristolsparks]

very true, just hate being dicked around on price, i dont mind paying abit more for a good job but dont wanna get shafted up the arse either

think i better start learning how do it all myself, doinf my dog bone mount and lower strut tomorrow, any other easy stuff you can recomend?

 

[james walker]

its all reletavly easy mate... just make sure you have the right tools.. exhausts best left to the experts though.

db and s3 lower a piece of piss mate.
