Hi all,
As i am heading off to spain on monday , I decided it was the ideal opportunity to get the Service done and the dreaded cam bet. I did some shopping around and the garage across the road from work quoted £336 including vat and a 10% discount. I thought this was about right but called my usual trusted man and he's quoted me £150 labour, £70 for the kit (Tensioners, Belt, Aux belt etc.) and £45 for the service.
In summary:
Motor Marque (Leeds) £336 Untrusted and Unknown!
Station Motors (Doncaster) £265 Known and loved.
Local Fraud (Ford) dealer £422 No comment
Think there is no decision really as my usual garage in Doncaster has been servicing the car for years and the guy loves the car so much he offers to buy it everytime it goes in! and he's an ex-ford mechanic with more years experience than i am old!
Any thoughts?
