Well I was charged £130 + VAT labour for doing the CV boot, both track rod ends and tracking (obviously).

It all depends if they are flexible or if they charger for work done and not the autodata time.

tracking isn't necessary if the mechanic can count, just count off and back on the number of turns the track rod came off Range Rover 4.4 V8 Vogue |

This is why I have swapped to a local Indy who charge £45+VAT per hour and are doing a brilliant job compared to the Main Stealer I was using who tended to make a dogs dinner of the most basic tasks. 07 Supercharged - Still breaking her in!
