I've had a quote from my Fiat main dealer to replace a doorlock - fifty quid for the lock (to match the key) and two hours labour. Sounds like a long time given that this is a simple car.
Any thoughts anyone - sound reasonable???
Thanks

Not really-remove door card etc.,disconnect linkage,pull off clip and lock comes out-could be done in half an hour I would think.

2 hours is crazy they should charge you .5 at the most (half hour)i think your paying for there dinner to you should ask to see there book time on the job or ask them to make you a lock up to your key and fit it yourself you dont have to be einstein to fit them there is a chap that does this for about £20-£25

Thanks a lot, I thought so. They do have a name locally for this sort of thing. Interestingly, the local Volkswagon dealer also has a bad name (arrogant, expensive, don't give a monkeys etc...)and it's the Japanese dealers I hear good thing about. I live in France. Company/Dealer ethos seems to transcend national boundaries.
I'm about to visit a scrapyard to try to find the lock - doesn't matter if I get a different key - it's likely to get done-in again anyway.
Have a nice Sunday and thanks again.
John
