Paying a day rate

[Deleted member 221031]

It's interesting to see the thread has focussed on two trades: plumbers and mechanics. Coincidence?

I’ve 20 years in the motor trade and similar in plumbing now.

Main dealers rip you off at any chance. They used to have a bonus scheme “time” and if you got after it you could double/treble your wages.

Did you read what they quoted for front brakes?

No, I read what you said they quoted and, worded my reply accordingly.

Ah, ok.
I forgot that some members here require proof for everything.
Unfortunately that quote went in the bin outside VW before I got to my parked car.
Said that, the opposite must be true: main dealers charge just about for the correct amount of time required to do the job...

Read that and see how laughable it is...

I paid for 3 hours labour for my discs and pads to be replaced at a Ford main dealer!

Then they replaced them when they went faulty 6 weeks later, it took them 45minutes, (obviously cheap parts)

There we go.
Please submit evidence of this statement to the diynot judges.
They believe nothing, unless direct evidence are provided (which they will disprove and argue that they're forgeries).

They believe nothing,

As is their right?

You are not renowned for you honesty or truthfulness, no.

You haven't proved that it is one's right to believe nothing.
