Been a while, this made me laugh though - out of curiosity I asked a main dealer in London about costs of replacing brake pads and headstock bearings (Yea I know I should do it myself but I been really busy lately! and am being pretty lazy - I have the parts and my local garage will do the lot for £100) This is their response:

"The cost for parts with labour is £457.81 inc VAT."

"Do you have a breakdown of how you arrived at £457.81? Off the top of my head; OEM bearings cost £25-35, brake pads cost £15-£30, so if we are saying the top end for parts is £95 and labour cost is £90 ph, - that comes out at 4 hour job?"

"The labour is 3 hours with a cost of £75 ph plus VAT

PADS £82.32 +VAT  In stock
BEARINGS £74.19 +VAT in stock"
 
Not sure about anyone here but I have never seen brake pads at £82 or headstock bearings for £74 :lol:

I think £75 per hour plus vat is the going rate for most maindealers across the uk, possibly a little higher in the Smoke. Dont think they are rerally interested in repairing older bikes, just want to sell new ones on pcp deals, and then service them

Saw this and thought "NO" this is just wrong unless you have 2 broken arms and can't reach your face.. And at $149 it's just to stupid.
