Lower mount labour charge?
How much is a fair price to change Blue's lower mount? I have the part so labour only? When I had the black V6 done it took 40 mins and cost £40. I have lost the chap's number and have just been quoted 2 hours £70 which seems a lot and 2 hours??!!!! Err I dont think thats right!

The biggest job is jacking the car up to gain access! Ten minute job once car is in air.
2 hours does seem excessive, especially if they’re doing it on a lift I’m sure an hours labour is more than long enough to complete the job.

I got quoted an hours labour and £70 plus vat for changing the reverse switch on a gearbox.
Needless to say I got it done elsewhere. I think they make it up as they go along. Stubs |

Thats very expensive Dawn, a good garage will have it done in less than an hour and that includes removing and refitting the undertray!

Dawn, what have you in respect of tools, ramps and a palce to work?
Are we talking a diesel lower mount? The one that looks like this? https://www.banggood.com/Metal-Manua...r_warehouse=CN macafee2 |

Dawn, sometimes they haven't a clue as they may have not worked on our cars before. You could tell them to reconsider, if you have no other option than using them.
