Hello all .....for some reason i cannot access my old account so had to re register
had my boxster for 4 years now and decided to gice it a new set of discs and pads , managed to get my local guy to buy and fit them for £500 , all good so far
he didnt have access to the porsche diagnostic reset kit hence the abs and traction control lights were lit up on the dash.
I called porsche in aberdeen and took the car up for a reset, Unfortunately they found one of the front brake sensors faulty and so i rebooked for them to replace the sensor the following week . quoted £85 for the sensor and "around half an hour to replace".
well they did the sensor and suggested at the time to replace the other , to which i agreed , sat down in the showroom and waited for the car to be fixed
3.5 hours later the car is sorted along with a bill for £315 for labour (£90 an hour , reduced to £80) and the parts at £170. total £518 .44
am i wrong to feel that i have been ripped ? or is this the norm nowadays
