I paid £387 last year and this year it’s going to be £468 and about a £80 increases.

A few days prior to getting the revised price I got a Softener e Mail explain any price rises.

Anybody had their latest quote.

Maybe the £80 is a reasonable increase ?

The softener e Mail gave increases in labour costs as a reason.

The day before I had a quote for some repairs to my car from a main dealer. There Labour rate was £120 plus Vat. So £144 per hour. Total Labour cost £660 plus Vat.

Guess what going elsewhere where Labour rate £60 + Vat.

What is the most annoying is that I used to be able to the type of work myself 50 years ago.

Just cough up the money Allan, you’re not as young as you used to be.
