Actually, that is no too bad for a dealer. Get a quote of Revoloution in Gateshead, they do all my work.

Didnt realise that was you roy.
Back at graft now, working my fingers to the bone
Hotel Tarragona is now sold, they wanted to be in for christmas but you know how much these solicitors can mess you around.
Revoloution quoted me £400 for full belt change, oil & filter, fuel filter, plugs, clean induction kit.
Also quoted me £1000 for new vented discs, pads and new 4 pot calipers. Does this sound right to you??

Martin Tinkler at Bedale, Tony Bardy at Scotch Corner, Mark at Import Car Parts, West Auckland 01388 834204 or John Pye Bishop Auckland 01388 661107.
Decide on the full extent of the work you want doing and then get like prices. They are all capable.
Oh and Alyn AS Performance.

hello Guy
Not working that hard i hope ha ha.yep i know what the solicitors are like as well, i bet its you making all the phone calls to get things moving although i doubt you will be out before xmas.Its a shame to see you leaving,we will have to exchange numbers in case I need advice on scooby ****e ha ha.I think i will try and get booked into AS performance as he has a good reputation for servicing etc. A grand for the brakes seems really good but what type are you getting for that as 4 pots seem to be around £13/1400 and what size?
Oh well better let you get back to work mate speak to you soon.

John Pye does most of the things I cannot do myself. Knows Subarus inside out. Alyn also does bits and pieces if I am up that way and Paul Stabler also lets me use his fathers garage on a night.
