Dealer quoted me 2 hrs capped labour at ?120 + tax per hour = ?276 total and wanted the car for the full day.
I went to an indy (Lewis Motors in Blackpool) and had it done for ?100 cash in about 4hrs.
Dealer wouldn't guarantee any updates I requested (MP3 playback etc) but still wanted full monies, so I went the indy route.
