    £500 for the work the OP mentioned?
    Didn't know Leicestershire was that expensive
    It's not.
    But expect the worst and you'll always feel good when it's not that much.

    Filters, plugs, pads on one axle - 2hrs MAX!
    I can do my own pads in an hour or less including jacking etc and without an impact gun. So a garage should be able to beat this.
    Oil and filter a 5 minute job once on the ramp.
    Air filter and cabin filter 5-10 mins.
    Fuel filter maybe a little longer depending on where it is. Say 15 mins.
    Rest of time can be a visual.


    "Services" have always seemed to be overpriced for what usually is an hours labour. Service parts aren't usually that expensive on your typical motor anyway
