O/T NewTiming Belt / Cambelt Garage Prices For My Car

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

New Timing Belt / Cambelt prices for my car.

I have a 2.0 litre Ford Mondeo / Private number plate

The car belonged to my Son, who passed away in September 2018.

I sold my car, & kept my Son's car, be it that he loved the car, so my wife
& I obtained the car, in remembrance of our Son.

I have the car serviced at the same time as the MOT is due.

I priced a new timing belt / cambelt [ Full kit, with new water pump] at
a local garage.
The garage quoted 705 pounds, so I said, how much cash in hand, to which
625 pounds was quoted, labour at 75 pounds a hour x by 7 hours.
Brother-in-law told me about a firm at Manvers, Wath-on-Dearne, so after
receiving my first quote, I went down to Manvers.
I was quoted 380 pounds [ Full kit, with new water pump ], I said straight away
book it in.
Had the work done, service book stamped & through the books for 380 pounds,
I took car in for 8.30am & it was ready for pick up just over 4 hours later.

Sure pays to shop around.

Sadly just had to have a clutch in my van. I had 3 quotes at ?775. And 2 at ?800. Phoned a garage at swallownest they quoted ?620. Booked it in there for the Monday.. I told them I was going away on the Monday for a couple of days and even though family members were at home I would collect it and pay thursday.
Got home Wednesday, they had delivered it bach home. Posted the keys and invoice...
Highly delighted with the service, shame I had to spend ?620 quid on a van that's only worth ?3000

I bet that was music to your ears.

Hate to think what a Ford dealership would have wanted for doing the work.
I posted the thread, in case anyone needed a place where prices are cheaper.

Did not see it mate.
Like the bad comment to my face off the poster, if that bad.

Didn't put number mate, thought was not allowed to promote a business.
I would have messaged the firm & number.
Any way here it is.
