Has anyone had the front flexi pipe replaced on a 1.6vvti astra J by Vauxhall? if you have can you remember how much they were fitted?

Got a price from Kwik fit and they are quoting £115 fitted but just wondering how that compares to Vauxhall

Thanks

I wouldn't let Kwikfit do it but your best might be to ring the dealer as it seems every dealership has different prices.

Wouldn't let kwikfit change a tyre let alone touch an exhaust. I had they do a complete exhaust on an estate car I had years ago. It went back twice for them to sort it (never managed it) as the whole system ended up falling off the car

Im not keen on Kwik Fit touching the car to be honest, and I will ring the dealers tomorrow and get a price, just posted on the off chance that someone may have had this done....Im a little annoyed as the only reason I need to change this part of the exhaust is due t the car been bottomed out somewhere, not sure where but good idea who by and it isnt me, ..... the flexi was full of stones grit etc and a small hole...car has only just had its first MOT two days ago too...the other thing is I am looking to get rid asap and get something with a turbo again :-)
