The labour is only a portion of that ... £472
You are paying for fitting of subframe, adjusting tracking, fitting
handbrake
A lot more than just tightening 10 bolts


Plus, as he is a one man band and not VAT registered, I saved £400 in tax.
New engine cover as well as painting and adding Waxoyl to the subframe.

VAT will have been included in the parts prices from his supplier. You
have only saved VAT on his £472 labour costs. = £94.40
