Exhaust for Seat Ibiza - whos the cheapest

RussWWFC

Got a hole in my Seat Ibiza 02 Reg exhaust and need to get a new one. The 4 main places near me (High Wycombe) are:

Merrits (Chiltern Tyres)
Kwik Fit
National Tyre Centre
ATS

Any idea on the best\cheapest??

Thanks

hi would recomend you NOT go to kwick fit as they charge well over the odds. I would recommend you go to a local "less ness" centre you can find them by doing a google search. They saved me at least 60% over the other exhaust providers. What I did what got the part (you need I think back end)I need and then went to a local garage and they charged me £15 to fit it. Kwick fit were charging me nearly £350 for mine and got it done all in for £120.

OK, I'll give them a miss then. I think I only paid Kwik Fit £29 for the same problem on a old fiesta, albeit 6 years ago

As well as the fast fit places phone round just a few local independat garages - i wouldn't be suprised to see them come out quite a bit cheaper than the big chains.

It seems that there is a reason why replacing the exhaust (by any fitting establishment) can be dear on this model.

Below is a quote from the honestjohn web site:

"If exhaust blows don't buy because replacement exhaust cost a fortune as subframe needs to be detached to fit it."

This basically mean more than few hours in the garage which is not cheap in most places at £50 to £70/hour.

Thanks for the reply. It was indeed a right sod to replace, I had it go into 3 seperate garages to have an exhaust fitted but each had the wrong parts.

In the end ATS Euromaster came up trumps at £140 - not cheap, but cheaper than the £250 Seat wanted and also cheaper than the £230 from my local garage and £180 from Kwik Fit
