Car Stuck in Garage For Two Weeks - What is Reasonable? Should it be Compensated?

Anon

Also what would be your estimate of the cost to remove the ABS, remanufacture and then refit including brake fluid etc please? Remanufacture appears to be around £200 if you send it yoursełf (but this is through the garage).

Thank you

we had a customer who we know very well. vauxhall astra sport 2007 traction control light on mot failure common fault ABS unit problems. new one over £1500. we done it cheap 1.5 hrs labour to remove/refit bleed all braking system, brake fluid postage & we charged customer 200 + the dredded.

all in just under £400 with a mot at £35. the company advised us it can take approx upto 7 days.

if it has been lost then it will take longer unless they have problems with the units themselves

The company linked-to on ebay has a very good rep. They also repair the Airbag sensors & switch clusters as well. I do know they do the job properl by replacing the internal sensors on the ABS rather than fitting an external by-pass like a few other repairers.

I wouldn't go that far but GM cars in general (Vauxhall, Saab and Daewoo/Chevrolet) do seem to have more than their fair share of expensive problems.

Not a company that would be my first choice, unless the car was very cheap.

Oi! Why are you lumping Saabs in with Vx & Chevrolet?
