Is it just me being tight or do you agree?

Sisters car snapped the clutch cable. Garage has quoted her £75 for the parts and £40 for the labour. Labour is fine by me, but £75 for a clutch cable seems totally unrealistic and more like a "ooo, theres a girl who doesn't know about cars" kind of price. I would have expect it to be about £75-85 all in. Not £115! I mean all there doing is unhooking a cable and then feeding a new one through. Half an hours work max. I would sort it out myself but shes in Edinburgh and by the time I put fuel into the equation its not gonna be worth it.

I've told her to ring the place and find out if they will fit it for the £40 they are quoting if she supplies the part. I don't think she has the know how of how to drive a car without a clutch pedal, haha. If anyone is around the Edinburgh area and wants to earn themselves £40 for half an hours work I'd rather give the money to you than some pikey garage.

The car is a 6N Polo (S Reg).
