The prices quoted are inclusive of vat for reference. I'll carry on then and change as needed if there's not much to be saved. Ok thanks very much for the guidance to both of you.

Thanks for your response. Ok its good to check now and then. It did seem like you would do the CV Boot and Ball Joint at the same time so £240 for both, on both sides, would seem like a fair priced job? (60+120+60) And the inner tie rods and anti roll bar links? For future, are they related jobs to each other or not?

I've had all of the above replaced over the last 2 years on my old Galaxy MK2 which I no longer have as it was scrapped but the jobs were all done at different times by the same garage. Rough numbers given. J1. Replaced o/s front bottom ball joint - £50 J2. Replaced both front inner CV boot - £100 for both J3. Replaced both front anti roll bar links - £50 for both J4. Replaced both inner tie rods - £100 for both J5. Replaced lower ball joint - £50 I now have another Galaxy MK2 diesel with lower mileage and had an advisory couple of months ago on my MOT from a different garage of 'Suspension arm ball joint dust cover damaged front and offside front' and quote of £120 for both sides including replacement of ball joints at they said you do both at the same time but not had it done yet. In the meantime I've been back to the usual garage for two tyres and was advised that I will need at some point; a - CV Boot front - £60 b - Both front and offside front lower ball joints - £120 I always use the same garage for repairs and don't do them myself. So I just wanted to check before I start down the same road of repairs on the newer MK2 vehicle to make sure; Q1. If I've been looked after well in your opinion? Q2. Should any of these jobs be done at the same time to avoid extra cost? Q3. And therefore should I continue to treat them as separate jobs when I'm told they need doing? Thanks.
