Tell me there not getting ripped off

My gf's farther had took his car into the local lexus dealership to have it serviced.

It came back with a repair bill of £1000

Its on a 2000 plate i think, and its a GS300.

They said all four shocks were gone, i'm pretty sure that it should not cost that much to repair?!

And apparently this will fix the problem of squeating breaks and a squeaking noise once the handbreak is lifted when cold, and also noisy turning?

I guess if they were replacing more parts it would be more feasiable, but £1000 for shocks?

I know that the lexus place will be slightly more expencive than other places, but it has to be done there too keep a propor service history. (thier own peace of mind)

So do lexus cars have a shock problem?!

lolj just because 1 6 year old car has worn shocks you can't start making sweeping statements like 'lexus cars have a shock problem'. £1000 is expensive, but then its an expensive prestige car so what do you expect?

I guess so, i was just a little suprised at the cost, my very first car cost less than that!

TBH i think they look pap, being a "prestegious" car! (would look so nice thou with 20" chrome spinners and all blacked out, gangsta!)

I know for 20k, i would expect a lot more in terms of looks! But ah well!

Exactally how good are theses cars? Dont really hear many people talking about it!

They paied 20k for it about 2/3 years ago

It was one of those car's that he allways always wanted!

If you put it to £250 per corner, it sounds fair enough!!
