I was just wondering what people pay for labour costs from their local garage. Not main dealers, obviously, just small, local garages. Be interesting to know how they vary around the country.

I've just picked mine up after oil and filter service, labour is £30ph, very good I think.

About £50 an hour down here.

Around £50 here (if you hunt around) usually dearer
I get £35 with family discount if I have to pay labour

For the sake of argument let's assume twenty minutes to change the oil and filter on your Daewoo.

Yes...I agree. A charge of £10 is reasonable.

No to me. Silly!

Although I need to have a word with hospitality by the sound of it.

20 euros an hour here in Spain (roughly equivalent wage wise to £20 in Uk) but parts seem to cost you more and the garage gives you a little receipt (no VAT) unless you ask specifically for a BIG receipt with VAT.

  Just had to have to fuel pump changed on my Sprinter camper. The fuel injection specialist was £73 + vat per hour
