   well if your gettin
   
   shocks all around
   springs
   torsion bar adjusted
   tracking
   
   i wouldnt say taken for a ride, some garages may charge 150+ to fit all the suspension, then tracking on the top

   As above. If you are supplying the parts yourself and just getting the garage to fit them it seems a bit steep to me.
   
   Shouldn't take them more than a few hours even if some bits aer a bit stuck!
   
   £100/hour seems excessive!

    i dont think hes gettin ripped off at all, even if he has the parts, i think its a fine price, i think payin 90 is incredibly cheap and lucky to get charged that

    I wouldnt say he was getting ripped off, as if its for fitting dampers/shocks as well as having the torsion bar adjusted and then the tracking then its not the best but not too bad.

    sorry to hijack but is 150 pounds a bit steep to take off a gear box and put it back on?
