Repair shop excessive cost,

Hi,
So I boug a used 2008 defender 90 a week ago and decided to have it checked by a LR specialist!
Holly crap, just to take a look at it and replace a door hinge and give me an idea of general condition.
I left it in the morning and when I picked it up and of day a 750euro bill was waiting for me!
WTF, and I thought these cars were really easy and inexpensive to fix, much less look at!
Looking for a new mechanic around Stockholm Sweden if anyone has suggestions.
But I love my car!
Just had to vent

Cheers

They are cheap and easy to fix .. but not when you go to a dealer ..

What work did they actually do for 750€?

I'm guessing that as it needed a hinge .. they replaced all the doors too, and painted them to match!

My customers would moan if I asked £40 for that....

Best advice is local advice. In your case Svensk Land Rover Klubb
