chilly Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 £25 for 1 hrs labour...they dont charge per 15 mins... But atleast if its done wrong and anything happens you've got some come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 It's a very easy job and as you say, not more than 15mins. My local garage (and Phoenix) charges 30 minutes minimum, so, probably around the £15-20 mark for labour... Either that or buy a longer breaker bar or ratchet for a tenner, do the job yourself and treat yourself to £10 of chocolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
