Car Problems

[Lan]

Hi, i've just had my car in for lots of repairs which seem to be mounting up everytime I phone the garage, although it is a reputable place I can't help feeling like i'm being ripped off (my immediate raction to spending money) anyway after paying 200 quid to get brakes fixed I've now been quoted another 100 to get a cv boot and two front tyres, is this an average rate, a bargain or am I been ripped off?

Depends.....what make and model car you drive and what size are your tyres? Garages are getting very expensive these days - excessively so in my opinion! Let me know answers to the above and i will try to give you an idea if they are over charging or not.

�100.00 for new CV boot and two tyres is cheap but all depends on car specs, you can pay �200.00 for one tyre for some cars.

cheers. It is a 1997 fiesta encore if that helps

seems a good price for 2 tyres and a boot.

depends on the make of tyre but seems ok to me
