Driveshaft ripoff?

[Thesonicrecreation]

Well i found out last week that apparently both of my driveshafts were knackered, so i took it into a garage around ilkeston and had them done.
Ended up costing £261, can't helping feeling like iv been ripped off :( .

Have I? Or isnt that too bad

[Furioman]

probibly a wee bit shafts probibly cost 150 so 110 on top for a half our job they have expensive labour rates

i got a drivers side drive shaft brand new from parkers for 35 quid and fitted it my self took half hour, so i would of thought u have been ripped of mate

Driveshaft replacement is easy and doesnt take long, should've done it yourself but you'll learn the hard way i'm afraid, i payed £300 for front discs doing before , got burnt quite bad.

who the hell in Ilkeston charged you that lol. Christ, I charge £40 plus parts to fit a pair inc gearbox oil, shafts are approx £55 each, think you've been stiffed bud, not Lightfoot was it who charged you that by any chance lol, someones got to pay for his new GT3!!

I've done same mate. I paid £200 for have my 2 driveshafts replaced :n:

It's not that you have been ripped off, it's just that you could have done it yourself cheaper.

Ah well, I learnt my lesson, so did you :y:

[Bickerton]

non, it's that you have been ripped off, it's is no more than an hours labour for them if i'm honest and ima Baker ;)
