simbasupra Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Just wondering if you lot think this is a fair price to charge. The customer is a friend of a friend with a UK MR2. I have listed the jobs first, the part prices second and then the fully fitted parts and labour price third: Timing Belt - £80.28 -£180 Clutch - £171.99 - £550 2x Rear Wheel Bearings - £144.26 - £300 2x Window Regulators - £99.02 - £240 2x Window Motors - £279.40 - £279.40 The job will be done by myself and another Toyota tech on our spare weekend and as such he will have no receipt. Just to give you an idea he was quoted £800 fully fitted for the clutch by our dealer. Could you give me a or and any other comments. Thanks.

Todd Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 get a clutch fitted far cheaper than that, in fact those parts and prices seem way over the top to me! Are they not near 3S, Woodsport, Sbits or any of the usual names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 There's something wrong with the window motors cost - the parts are the same price as the fully fitted. I like that hourly rate Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not near 3S, Woodsport, Sbits or any of the usual names? OK i thought it was resonible £250 cheaper than Toyota and remember it is an MR2 and there is next to no room. Any other comments?

I like that hourly rate Mike Forgot to mention that i will fit them free if he has the window regulators done as they would allready be out. So yeah £0ph on that:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 No, you're still off if you think £550 is good, normal price on the mr2 sites is about £250-£300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very cheap will have to reconsider that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
