Specialist I use charges £33 an hour including vat although I travel 30 miles to get to the. The local grease monkeys charge £40 plus vat.

Couldn't dream of paying some of those prices  :surprised:

I can honestly say I've never taken any car of my own to a garage, I always try and have a go myself lol
