sometimes your mechanic will tell you the cost of a part is x thousand naira but it really is cheaper. i think we should have this sticky thread where we can share cost of parts..

for example my mech js billed me N35,000 to change the fuel pump of my 2004 Mercedes C240... i dont think it should be that expensive.

i feel its too expensive, why not go to the spare-part market and price yourself. i own an audi quattro 1999 and the fuel pump is N6000. At first my mechanic almost drained me until i started pricing myself at d market and that habit he had of overcharging me has stopped cos he knows i have made friends with spare parts dealers.

Pls,I will like to no wear you get the parts from

The prices vary according to location. The price of fuel pumb at coal camp Enugu will not be the same at alaba Lagos or alaoji in Aba Abia State. The last direct one i bought for merc was 11,000 including fuel filter and i was told that 2500 was repaid ones. Original new one was at 6000 which i was told was far better than direct belgium.

Omg.. i just noticed I typed fuel pump instead of power steering pump.. sorry guys it's the power steering pump I was charged 35k for

front shocks merc c240 2004, .. im being charged 40k... make sense?
