Ford bulb replacement set pricing

[Spleeble]

When I got my Focus serviced at a main dealer and I was advised that one of my indicators was showing white light and needed to be replaced at a set price of £27.99. I told them to that I'd do it myself. I've just done the job a couple of minutes ago (in the dark) and it took 5 minutes, just 2 screws and the twist on lamp holder. So Ford wanted to charge me £280 an hour for a very simple job. I have heard of main dealer rip offs but this one must be one of the worst.

No, they wanted to charge you £27.99 - which would include the cost of the bulbs (which aren't free).

If their hourly rate was £40 and they were to charge me £4 for 5 minutes labour + £1.50 for a bulb I would have got them to do it.
