How much on diagnostic tools??? a code reader is £30! And an advanced one is under £100 or even £30 if you have a laptop
I think what really annoys people are the £100 rates of labour and things always taking to the nearest hour. Personally its not my choice that the garage spend £5 Million building a new showroom so I have big respect for the mecanics that know their stuff and work within there means in a normal garage.
The parts debate will keep going for ever but I am on the rip off fence. Fair enough design and manufacture costs have to be reclaimed but when you are making 1million or more a year how much do you need to mark each one up by?? especially when you might be making another 100million other items that year too. So £10 a pump? that not much so £10million a year? or wait... a pumps maybe £300 so £50 a pump? £50million?
