Referring to a "Dealer" as someone who steals

I’m not a lawyer, I am a mechanic.

One and the same right - you both fix something - just you fix the product, they fix the customer

Nothing like the same, they get paid far more than we do and we save lives, they don’t!

[Eshrules]

The only thing dealers/mechanics and lawyers/solicitors have in common are their destructive effect on your bank balance

A common misconception

i agree with what as een said. I was lead to beleive that may main dealers have the laour rate set y themaufacturers which is why maydon't carry out mots as the hourly rate is much higer then the cost of a mot

I agree that people shouldn't be calling dealers '********' I was lead to beleive by the Audi dealer who looks after my mom and dads car that the hour rate is set by Audi (and as this is something like £90 plus per hour) they can not do MOTs which cost £50 and take an hour as they are not allowed to charge less then the hourly rate.

At the end of the day if you don't want to pay main dealer prices use a spealist or indipendent dealer. Companies have to cover their overheads otherwise they go out of business and small gargaes have far smaller overheads then the larger ones as with any business like my families business if we worked out of a shed rarther then a large factory with the machines hwe have we could charge less as the overheads would be less.

I have just brought a MKV Golf and have a price for a service and the main dealer is cheaper then a local VAG specialist

I just meant slow down your typing so that it makes sense.

That will be because they are fitting less parts, check what is being quoted for.
