"C"service prices?

[desmos]

Bit of market research. I was wondering what sort of price you would pay for a c service on a standard K series engine at an independant. Prices seem all over the place so am keen to get a broad view based in the South East.
Thanks

Keen to get a broad view as you've just set up your own outfit, and that way you can undercut everyone else, per chance?

Bad practice.

Thanks for your input, really helpful.
Is it bad practice to try and offer a competitive price?!

[Stephanie Plum]

There are plenty of ways to establish what the going rate is, without posting on a forum. Why not just ask all the seloc guys who use you?

Absolutely not. It will only benefit both parties, that being you and the customer.

Stephanie...stop being so obtuse.

[Stephanie Plum]

I don't think I am being obtuse. I just find it amazing that someone can set up a garage and not know what to charge.

The SELOC guys have been really supportive and I think if you look at my threads on there I try to give that back by helping them with any technical issues they have.
Who do you use Stephanie?

Whilst price is of course a key element, nothing is more valuable (to both sides of the transaction) than reputation. I wouldn't necessarily choose a garage just because they were the cheapest.
