House address? Takes about 10 minutes to find.

But if the total bill is for £2172.75 and only £472.50 is for labour
then how the **** is it £2200 for fastening 10 bolts?

Nothing even remotely like £2200 for fastening 10 bolts.

Not £475 for fastening 10 bolts either.

£10 for fastening 10 bolts.

£2190 for removing old sub frame, positioning car over new one and
dealing with anything that got in the way.

No - it is "Road Tax" that does not exist.

It's just a name. Most people say "road tax", like they call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover even though Dyson made it.

Yes, you are right.

£5000 is 2014 Corsa money.

Mine is only worth about £3000.

They haven't been sold at that price so they aren't worth it until they
do. They are just the starting price for bargaining down from.

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

Aye, especially as everyone knows old Alfas are money pits. As the OP
has just proved.

My 12 year old Nissan Almera just sailed through the MOT needing two
tyres and with an advisory on slight play in the anti roll bar bushes.
And I drive it Italian style.

Like replacing a £50 thermostat in a diesel freelander. 8 hours to
strip the engine bay down to get to it and put it all back together.

If you send in a car for an MOT with two duff tyres, you want shooting.

Why does the subframe price state £1095 in the "rate" column, but only £930 in the price I paid?
