drivers seatbelt replacement costs

sumvision2027

I've had to buy a new seatbelt, drivers side. wondering how much a mechanic would charge me to fit it? it's something I would not want to try on my own.

Shouldn't be more than an hour or two labour, depending on how much trim has to come out.

But good luck finding a garage that'll fit parts you're supplying, especially if they're used and include pyrotechnics.

better try a bodyshop rather than regular garage if trim removal is required

Garages are perfectly skilled and experienced in trim removal - it's day-in-day-out stuff.

Mine replaced a seatbelt with a second hand one I'd had off eBay. Might have helped that they were MOTing the car at the time.

Sorry, I don't remember. It wasn't a huge amount but as I was having the MOT and the service at the same time it was just part of the final total.
The second time it happened (bloody dogs) I just got a handy neighbour to fit it for me.
