KV6 belt change £350!

438brad · 21st January 2013, 20:20

Took my ZT to my dads mechanic today for a gearbox and engine oil change (needed doing and far too much snow for me to get on my back!

). He does the mot's on my Holden and has worked on my dads cars for several years and is a superb mechanic. He has recently set up his own garage and only charges £25 per hour! I got talking about the ZT today and said about it being a bit of a pain doing the belts on the KV6. He explained that he has done quite a few (popular cars the ZT and 75's around the Fylde) and didn't consider it too bad a job. He said that to do the 3 belts and oil and filter change he would charge £350 -£360 including parts which I thought was a very good price, especially considering what a nice guy he is and how good a mechanic. Anyway his details are:

Paul Bickington
Wyre Valley Motors
Hillside park lane
Preesall
Poulton-Le-Fylde
FY6 0DZ
07968 850469

Please note, I am not connected in any way, this is just a recommendation for a good, fair priced garage.
