No you read it right. It says 18 hours labour on the reciept.

They started last wednesday and finished it today. I was supposed to pick it up friday then they said pick it up sat. then they phoned and said don't pick it up sat its not finished.

Well we never took the top hose off and top hoses can be "squashed down a bit" unless they split the hose being ham fisted....just out of interest how many litres of antifreeze was charged for?

You've been ripped off....job time is 1.6 hours ICME times,thats what you should have been charged for any longer then it's at their cost.....that's the Motor Codes Ruling law...I still can't get my head around 18 hours to replace an alternator....they wouldn't get a job at my place that's for sure

I was only charged £18 for labour. They did labour as good will because it was only just out of warrenty.

Good bloody job!!

What antifreeze was it,what colour is the fluid in your expansion tank? I'll check tomorrow how much it should have as 4 litres doesn't seem a lot considering how much coolant fluid your car holds

Good bloody job!!

that will probably be why it took so long.
they aint going to put other work aside to do yours first...even if Chrysler are paying.

£18 for labour?...Come on,what does that tell you? they screwed up on something surely,that's £1 an hour,if it took me 18 hours I would have still charged you 1.6 hours of labour as that's the ICME time

ANT001 antifreeze blue.

it was only a guess on my part about the radiator. Couldn't imagine Why they would need to add any at all.

Blue???? That wants taking out straight away,your car needs super oat and its pink when neat but when added to water it looks rusty brown,that blue stuff will start rotting anything alloy in your engine...wait a minute.....that's everything in your engine....
