![]() Hi.
I have to admit defeat ![]() I normally do just about everything to the car, at this time I am not able to do the work, I have a problem health wise that has reared it's head that means no this time. I have two new top mounts with the bearings for the front struts, what would be the likely labour charges from a decent garage for this work do you think? Thanks in advance.

![]() Drive through and get Duncan (Cossie Dunc) to do it Trevor. Not too far from you and is very fair with his pricing.

![]() It would take about 2 hours in total.... So whatever the labour charge is per hour, id say £30 an hour seems about right.

![]() Doopydug did mine at their garage in Kirkcaldy, can't remember exact price but he changed all my springs to and fairly certain the total bill was less than £100. Shouldn't be far from that figure.

![]() Hi Guys.
Due to the distance from me to Dunc I decided to call a friend of mine that has a garage in the centre of Kilmarnock, I got a price of £80 for both sides, I have the top mounts/bearings that I got from DMGRS so I'm just about to leave and drop the car off. I'm sure he'll do a good job as he knows that I am fussy.

![]() £80 all in seems fine to me, it's not a quick 10 minute job.
Also good it's being done by someone who knows the cars, not an apprentice who doesn't know his stuff. ![]()

![]() Hi.
It was just as well I didn't take the car to Dunc, I'd have been stranded in Whitburn ![]() ![]()

![]() Hi.
Well when I collected the car it was rattling away like nothing else on earth, the steering too was wandering. The photos tell the story. Riot act tomorrow I think.
