need peoples opinions, how much is the going rate for a 2004 1.2 corsa C headgasket job?

the head skimmed already so not counting that cost in, this is for a specialist aswell not main dealer.

Thanks

5.5 hours is the book time.

Remember its a timing chain engine so not as straight forward as timing belt.

What are they quoting?

300 quid would be about right i think. my brother paid £600 but that needed to be sent away to be skimmed, and he had a couple of other bits sorted aswell.

Assuming they are about £50 an hour the £330 inc vat.

Id say that was resonable tbh.

I would have done it for £150
