Hi all

Does this seem to be a fair price?

Thanks in advance
 
What car is it for?

From a dealer or independent garage?
 
sorry to hijack thread but no use creating a new one ....whats the cost on replacing a clutch cable on a golf mk1 2004 model

the dealers want to charge my friend 4500 ....i have never asked anyone for quotes so dont know the prices

my mind thinks its aroud 2k with parts and labour

2004 golf mk1?

No such animal ;)

Also, even R2k to replace the clutch cable on a citigolf sounds too much...?
 
If its the clutch cable only and it is a golf mk1 then you can buy the cable and do it yourself for like 90 bucks.

Dunno hey. I am sure a type-R's pads are a lot more expensive than a jazz's pads.
Still sounds much though. DIY is the way to go.
 
R1750 for front brake pads sounds high imo, but suppose through a dealer.

R2k for a clutch cable is rape
 
I thought the break discs were around that price ( or even less ) for a pair. As far as I know the pads are much cheaper.
 
I paid just over 2k to replace front and rear brakes on a 2008 Accord. I replaced them at Honda West Rand.

+- R100 for the cable. Then get a backyard mechanic to fit it for you if you can't do it yourself.
 
It is about R1300 for installation of fronts on a i20. No generics available... Are they skimming too?
 
Just for comparison...

VW quoted me R2100 to change the rear brakes on my car.
I got the pads for R380 from Goldwagen, spent R100 on tools and did it myself.
