Is these prices any good for 2005 LCR?

Hi all,

Just been to the garage and they tell me I need; 1 X Front N/S(Passenger Side) Track Rod End and N/S & O/S Front Wishbone rear bushes.

Is it better just buying the whole Wishbone instead of just the bushes?
Should I get uprated bushes like Powerflex?
Can you buy uprated bushes already on the wishbone or do you need to take the new bushes out and put the uprated ones in?

Been quated JUST for Labour;

For Track Rod End plus alignment £49?
For the N/S & O/S Front Wishbones £120?

Also need a Cambelt & Water Pump change. For labour for both been quoted £240?


Are these prices good?


Much Appreciated

Track rod end seems ok price, timing belt does too but what they doing with the wishbone, pressing a new bush in?

 

[karizma_fas]

Thats a price for fitting both N/S & O/S Wishbones?

Rite all,

Went to SEAT and theyv quoted me for labour (iv got all parts) on; N/S Track Rod End, Front & Back Front Wishbone Bushes, Cambelt + waterpump with new G12+ Coolant AND a 50K 32-point Service, plus free curtesy car for £325 for the lot!

That seems pretty awsome to me as an independant garage was charging me £412, but thats not including the service.
