I think if you get feeling your being ripped off take it else where or try a get a recommended place to have work done.
No mechanic is worth £50 per hour in my book, that's extortionate!! My local charges £25 ph and he's very good ;-)

Re: Mazda menders to the rescue
So can someone tell me what they would be willing to pay for cambelt and pump change ?
I'm interested in the answers , £800 is ridiculous you could buy another 5 for that and use the spares !!

There is a chap down Southwick had one of those in to sell on... Lovely car, but had done just over 30k miles...and since it had the ceramic brakes, that meant a complete brake overhaul - the discs and pads all round will be £15k on their own before the mechanic even gets the wheels off.

Personally, since any mechanic is competing with nothing more than elbow grease, I wouldn't normally spend much. Right now with no time to do anything, I'd happily take it to my friendly wrench thrower who charges me £20/hr...
