Labour cost question

[Reggie91]

Hi all,

I have purchased/looking to purchase the following:

-Spoon progressive springs
-DME Rear camber arms
-Front Camber bolts,
-Buddyclub ball joints,
-superpro caster increase set (front control arm bush kit)
-With a FRSU

Just wondering what the approximate labour cost would be to fit all these parts? I've tried calling TGM etc, however had no luck actually pricing it up over the phone.

Cheers

I'm based near maidenhead. So I think TGM is probably my 'local' garage.

Anyone know how many hours it would take to fit all of those parts?:

Pm'd

If you email you will get a response

It is holiday time so many of us are short of staff & answering the phone is hard, so email is the best way


FYI Eurospec in Guildford are £65 plus vat per hour. FRSU is £94 plus vat

I never seem to get a response when I email TGM. Ive given it a go anyway and emailed eurospec aswell.

The price seems to be around 60-70quid an hour, however any idea as the how many hours this work should take?

I had the following

Service - engine oil, gearbox oil and plugs
Spoon spring with dme camber arms and bolts.
Front disk and pads
Value clearence.
Wheel alinement.

I was there from 9 and didn't leave till 4pm so i expect a whole working day with yours.

Cheers linh-ej9, that gives me a better idea. Probably come to around 500-600 quid.

I second this one, recently had work done at Area Motorsport/Brosport and the work was spot on, Really well priced considering the service they provided.

I had the following done;

Checks;

Valve Clearences

Fitted (Previously purchased by myself);

Hardrace Droplinks all round.
Hardrace LCA's
Hardrace Rear Camber Arms

Supplied and fitted (Purchased from Area on the day);

Eibach Camber Bolts

and then had the geometry set up - 'FRSU'

All in I can't remember exactly but the cost was roughly £250 - 300.

Grinspeed - cracking service and good prices too by people that actually know what they're doing.

 

[Reggie91]

Yeah I heard good things about all those companies, however it would be a bit of a drive for me as I said I live near Maidenhead. So eurospec and TGM are my best bet

 

[CaLi]

Id guess £250 - £300 labour

If you're choosing between TGM and Eurospec I'd encourage you to go with TGM I had a bad experience from having parts fitted by Eurospec

if they did your valve clearences, did you drop off your car the day before ?

No I didn't, I did enquire about that before I booked it in but Rob said it was fine to do it on the day, was sat for about 5-6 hours before he/they did it.
