Hamilton car mechanics - help

[Big Dan]

I Have a friend who needs a WOF and CV joints and Seatbelt done she has been quoted $800 for the lot. I thought this was abit steep

Her car is a 1990 Nissan nx coupe

she needs to start work on this next week

can anyone help

CV Joints shouldn't be more than about $200 (at least mine were $120)

Depends what wrong with it in the WOF.

[Big Dan]

can you reccomend a place

[Big Dan]

after the cv's and seatbelt are done then it will pass the warrant

[Gubb]

Yep, but they're in Wellington.

Bit of a commute.

So don't get a quote,that's a fixed price and bumped up to include unexpected problems - get an estimate with itemised and priced parts and labour plus GST,and post it here for us to see.All else is just secondhand word of mouth which we all know is total bullshit.

seatbelt replacement from repco retails at about $150-180 should only take bout half hr to do. CV joint are round $105 each retail plus the wof i would have thought allowing up to an hour per side for the CVs should cover the labour as some cvs are right shits to get off.
