Animal Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hi all, Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but what sort of ballpark figure could I expect to have a pair of HFCs and a y-pipe fitted? How long should this take? Thanks in advance, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 depends where you go for labour charges, best thing is to call around places for quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 my place charge roughly £30-£35 an hour ex VAT shouldn't take more than 2 hours, think my place took about 1 hour i think can;t remember as they did lots of other bits as well at the same time. ring around and avoid nissan garages, use an independent. some garages near london for BMW have labour charges of over £100 an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Noting your location, don't think you will do better than trying TGM at Fleet: http://www.tgmsport.co.uk/ I'm losing count the number of times they have swopped exhausts over for me, do a super job and are big fans of the 350/370 - ask for Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 and avoid nissan garages, use an independent. No kidding! My car's been back to the dealers three times in as many months for silly niggles. The service guy I've been dealing with has been very good, but as an institution I wouldn't even buy an air freshener from them. Fortunately, Japex are about 10mins drive from my house. Alternatively, I could drive down to Abbey and have them remap the car at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 wont be much from japex as ross works really fast ! when he did my Y pipe by the time i walked down the road for a coffee he was done when i got back ! bascially it depnds on how rusted on the old bits are but either way Ross will sort you out quick for a good price , booked in for a service next week so might see you there .

Chilli Red Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 TGM or Abbey get my vote, may be a tad more than others, but quality work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
