Posted July 25, 200816 yr can anyone recommend a decent mechanic in the southampton/pompey area? need my clutch doing, but just been quoted £265 just for the labour (im supplying the parts), and i aint paying that much!
July 25, 200816 yr Clutch is a big job. Probably around 8 hours for someone whos done it before I would of thought, so make of that what you will.
July 25, 200816 yr Author yeah its a big job but even so, im looking at £350+ all in at that price which is a bit steep. mr clutch down this way quoted me £225 all in but im told theyre a bunch of cowboys so wont bother with them.
July 25, 200816 yr Not that big a job... Should take between 1 hour and 3 depending on the mechanics experience with that particular engine. £265 is very steep... I paid less than that including the clutch if I remember correctly. Shop around!
July 25, 200816 yr Try Jim Lee on the Rowner Road, Gosport. The old texaco garage that now sells cars. . Top man who does a top job. Has done several jobs for me and i send loads of people to him on all sorts of cars. Just about to get him to do my cam belt and water pump. ( to lazy to do it myself ).
