Steering racks away on the wifes 03 r50 :( only had one quote so far guy said 5/600 incuding the part

I understand its a crap job to do n takes bout 5hours and that the racks bout 150/200

Do you lot think its a decent price and most other places will b bout the same lol

Most garages I know of charge about £60 per hour for labour so it sounds about right to me.
