for a basic engine service on you rlandy to include oil and filter, air filter and fuel filter????

 

[Trewey]

The cost of the parts!

 

[tanglewoodben]

no more than £70 the service kit is only £22- oil £15 if you buy it yourself then an hours labour £35 more than enough,
i just serviced mine and it cost me about £30 but i did it myself so no labour charges

 

[big ad]

so you think £35 an hour is the going rate?

 

[Dewin]

that's roughly what the local indy I use charges

My local garage charges £30 an hour.

 

[hughesy]

Why pay a garage to carry out the simplest tasks like oil changes? Do it yerself ffs at least you'll know it has actually been done.

 

[Langers]

Aye, it's not exactly difficult anyway. Learn how to do it once and you'll be able to do it for the rest of your life.

In which case..I'd gladly pay £2 an hour labour...as long as my landy was collected, delivered and valeted at no extra cost...


What is it with people called ''big''??

they have issues with sizes. usually there a bit small in the mid region

yes am just trying to gauge what people would be willing to pay per hour thats all. Or what they would consider to be a fair price.

if you take the advice given here and incorporate it into a working business plan you'll be out of business within a week - wrong place to ask for pricing advice mate

£52.50 in Aldershot with Challenger. For this sort of area that's a decent rate.

 

[Wriggler]

Phone your local garage and ask em.

 

[landybird]

£40 ph +VAT is about average round here, and i know this because my landy likes to visit the garage regularly

 

[Lotsaspots]

visited a local independent last week (Mister 4x4, just outside Hitchin) to discuss the upcoming MOT (April) and to get him to give the Disco a good lookover before I start towing the caravan about this year...£45/hr £45 MOT, thought that seemed reasonable..

 

[new2landies]

people will pay what it's worth to them, some would pay £30-£70 when other people who are on a budget would obviously shop for the cheapest/best value, most people who have a bit of home machanic in them would do most basic servicing themselves.

Mobile machanics are very good value, the one looking over the nieghbours car last week charged £25 and hour, he had all the mobile welding equipment on the van too, i asked him to give me a qoute for a cambelt change if i bought the kit, he said £75

so if you have to compete with them then it makes you think a bit...i know having a garage you have lots of overheads, unit, equipment ect. but i would really think about it, especially in the financial climate we are in now...but good luck with it, and i hope you make a go of it
