    Is this Right? MRA Vs Ricks

    Thought i would just check on a cost for my next service, as said in a post before i had a big service at MR Automotive, and they did a fantastic job, so this time round, i only need a 10k one, spoke to a lad who takes his D2 to Ricks in Nerang, says there very good, so called them and this is what cost are

    Ricks service $420/440

    MR $200

    Um, i say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do they use gold plated spanners.

    you need to compare apples with apples..

    if you didnt put forward a defined list of tasks then you dont have a comparison as each may have a different view of what needs doing.

    Spot on Inc, was going to say the same. Find out what the qoute includes and then way up any other factors that add value into the equation.

    I can't really compare as I have always taken my D2 car to Ricks......but what I can say is he has always gone above and beyond ANY other garage I have dealt with over the years with other cars.

    I have started to do the simple stuff myself but for anything more involved, Rick will get my business again for sure.

    Ricks always a little more when your a first timer ,he's prices are like a fine wine they get better with time and you wouldn't open wine with a hammer

    Incisor is probably right in that they may not be quoting on exactly the same job.

    I recently had a lot of work (nearly $3000 worth ) done to my Fender at M.R, I checked with Rick's what they would charge for the same work, and it was about the same as M.R, perhaps even a few dollars cheaper.
