CALICO 130 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) If you have all the dash out surely its easy enough to do the rest yourself. I wouldn't call it a good deal for the work they have to do. But if you think its a good deal then go ahead. Edited May 6, 2014 by CALICO Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 You've done the hard work by taking the dash out Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Will the replacement of the matrix take more than 2.5 hrs? Independent garages are approx £50 an hour labour, if it takes more than 2.5 hrs, it's not a bad price. I assume you're supplying the matrix and pipes and it's not part of the £120?
