Good Evening.... Infidel
Recently I've had done or am having done quite a bit of work on my car:
New rear discs + pads
New front pads (manufacturing defect caused old ones to crack)
New Auto Fluid
New front bumper
Tracking/alignment
Balancing
Had I gone to mitsubishi dealer...
£250 +VAT for bumper, unpainted
£120 painting
£150 rear discs
£35 rear pads
£40 front pads
£100 for wrong spec mineral-base ATF (and botched change)
~£300 labour (6 hours)
Total: £1038.75
What I actually did:
£45 for mint s/h bumper (ebay)
£50 respray
£120 cross-drilled rear discs (the old discs were warped)
£30 rear pads
Front pads replaced under warranty
£85.50 for mitsubishi-compatible fully-synthetic ATF
£100 labour (independant garage, which always seems full of surprisingly new mercs)
Total: £430.50
Hmmm...
