Ford Kia, a ? indeed
Ford Ka do you mean ann, Knock a naught of the £500 and that would be about right.
£500 to "repair" the exhaust on a Ka ?

You could replace the entire system several times over for that !

I do tony ie KA, thanks for your input baldric .
BTW, what year is it?

After 2006 the exhausts are a lot more expensive, but £500 is still well over the top.
That's very expensive. A complete new system is only a couple of hundred fitted.
Here's a breakdown of the whole system, if that's what's required, for a 2008 1.3 petrol engined car. Add fitting, which shouldn't be more than ~£75, even with the dreaded VAT.

i think it would be pre 2006, the price was for parts and fitting at a well known car repair garage,
my OH has a kia and he's always having to pay alot for repairs at the kia garage and so he's started taking it elsehwhere, he also had the brakes done at a kwik fit and it was £600, he went balastic, they reduced the bill pretty quick!
Its not a reasonable price, its extortionate imo
Question Author
so it is KIA ? thanks dotty, it was kwik fit who quoted the price.
Kia is a different make of car, a South Korean rival to Ford.
Oh, and anyone who visits AB regularly will know that the advice of many here is never, ever to go to Kwik Fit.
oh bloody hell don't go to kwik fit they made a right pigs ear of the job too and a steering spring or something pinged off the next day when he was doing 70+ on the M61!
Ka = small Ford
Kia = large car manufacturer
KIA is the name of a car manufacturer as is Ford
