There would appear to be something funny going on in the Dublin car repair/service business. Over the past few years I've had experience of Dublin based garages over-charging (usually double) with respect to garages down the country.
I'll tell you about my latest experience; I got a quote from a SEAT garage in Dublin to fit a 2nd hand power steering kit for €1200. Then I rang a SEAT garage in my homeplace and was quoted €500 euro. Needless to say I got the job done in my homeplace!
Has anyone else had experiences like this?
It would appear that there is some sort of a cartel in operation in Dublin regarding car repair/service charges. I believe it extends to new car prices as well as you can always get a better deal from a garage outside Dublin.
How would one take this issue further so that it could be investigated?
