Quote for a new exhaust on his Prius - £900. He takes it to our local garage which is run by a couple of friends, ''oh its only got a little crack and it all looks brand new still, it just needs a small new pipe in the centre section'' - £40 - £50.
They have been dedicated customers all their lives and that's the respect he gets back..?
My Grandma has only just recently passed away and she would of normally sorted this out herself AND taken it to Toyota, but now Grandad is on his own he's taking charge and wasn't happy with that disgusting price. My dad said I would cancel it and go somewhere else. So he is and it will be done later today without him being stupidly ripped off and by a so called respectable company.
Man its made me angry!

I think thats the problem with big companies, they know they can charge that ammount and most people won't question it. But surely there must be some reason (good or not) that they decided to charge £900.

For £900 I would expect a full Cat back exhaust system. It costs about £1400 for a good Remus full Turbo back system which includes everything from the turbo onwards... that is 4 piece instead of the normal 3 piece you Grand Father would be needing, and that is ofcourse an extremely high quality piece of kit coming from Remus.

That is a lot for an exhaust system. He must have been fuming.
