13 hours does seem rather long. Maybe the skill/expertise of the worker/s can be called into question?
Thinking about it
1 person 13 hrs slow work?
2 people 6 1/2hr
3 " " 4 hrs 20mins...
4 and so on
5 troop of monkeys
How many staff do Powerstation have?

I'd not trust PS to check my tyre pressures...but that's just my feelings.
What EXACTLY did they bill you?
You seem to be avoiding that request for some reason.

Power station have been around for years with very little feedback from anyone
You have had 16 ? Posts
You have been asked a few times how much you actually paid and not supplied the figures yet
I'm sure someone who knows powestation will send them the link for their reply as it's quite serious to slag off a company
Look forward to seeing a breakdown of the bill
Your 'mate 'doesn't have to scan it or put it on here
You just have to type put the correct info on here

So one more time
HOW MUCH WAS THE TOTAL LABOUR COST For fitting 3 Gauges ??
How much was the full bill with all the other jobs???
If there is no proper factual response this thread should be deleted IMHO

Yeesh.
Please put up some substantiating evidence rather than just slag off a company and post multiple times withouth due care of the CAPS LOCK.
You'll garner no respect, nor credulity from anyone with blind accusations.

Well i've used Powerstation 4or5 times for various modding jobs on some of my previous cars and my experience is they are excellentand when it comes to scooby tuning,modding,repairs,servicing etc you wont find a better set of lads who really know their stuff.

I seem to remember Powerstation making a right knackers of that car they entered into Time Attack, they even have the trophies to prove it
OP I don't think is coming clean on the full bill and what all the work was done to the car.

its not a case of how much, its a case of how long they billed you for. one garage charges £30 an hour, another £50, another £100, a main dealer even more. so its not a matter of price that should be at question, but the amount of hours they billed you to do the job. which seems a lot more than the norm for the work you mentioned.
there are lots of garages near me that wont touch unusal jobs, ie fitting gauges, braided hoses etc, because they dont know how much to charge. i rung my local honda dealership who do everything by the book, and there price to change my brake hoses to goodridge ones were £600 ! ! ! ! which we know is a joke, but they didnt know the work involved, and just went by the manual.
i still think you should have got a written quote of some kind, or a rough price, as you basicly asked to have your pants pulled down here, going into somewhere thats not trustworthy, and then not asking a price/qoute in writing leaves it up to them to try and get as much as they can from you.
good luck getting your money back, lesson learnt for future car work i guess.

tbh i really carnt see a company like powerstation taking 13 hours to fit a set of gauges.i mean come on, ive delt with some cowboys in my time but even the 3 blind mice could have fit some gauges in a quicker time.
and a part of you that knows you may be going to jail!
