.. you know it won't be good news.
He's just emailed with a quote, to fix a squeeking noise in my 15 year old Jaguar XJ6 :
Holy Mary, Mother of God! That's well over £3000, to get all the items done - about ten times what I expected!!
What do you car experts reckon? Is that lot reasonable, given the prices of parts and labour?
I thought £347 seems a bit steep for an oil and filter change. TBO, I was hoping the whole lot wouldn't much exceed that!
The guy in the garage reckons it would be better to ditch the car and buy a new(er) model, and said the local dealer would graciously offer £250 (no typo - only one zero!) in part exchange! Are they having a laugh?!!
