Subject: Ouch, UK charges
Just had the fork seals done at my local Honda dealer, just a few points
to mention.
1: he suggested only replacing the one that was leaking !!!!
I said do them both.
2: One of my Gaiters had a hole in it, so I said just replace them both
as well !!! Big mistake they are £26 each, £26 bloody pound for a
plastic fork condom !!!
3: they broke one of the screws holding the front mudguard on whilst
undoing it, BUT said that it was already broken which I'm pretty sure it
wasn't as its one of the front bolts and I put a chain and lock over
that side everyday so I'm sure I'd have noticed it, sticks out a mile,
fail to understand why they didn't just admit it and say "hey it was
stuck solid and just snapped"
4: total job inc. labour £146.00 labour was charged at 2 hours x £25.00
so I didn't think that was bad.
just pissed at being ripped off for the gaiters really, so beware before
you get any work done MAKE sure you find out the individual prices of
parts before giving the OK...
