- So we went and picked up the Evo from @motionmotorsport_ltd, and we see how much they charged us to do all the welding, suspension, set up, clutch and AYC!

SO yes, it came to a total of £1.5K! and thats with a massive discount on labour, and without lots of the parts, but at least i know its been done by Dave, and Dave is one smart arse geezer.
Peeps; I am by no means moaning or saying that the work I had done isn’t worth what I paid, I got an amazing deal! I know! I’m just saying that regardless it still hurts my gut and my bank account 😂
We know what you mean 😁
Parting with cash that's not mods is always fecking hard man lol
Graham Reid tell me about it 😂
Understandable enough. I do all my own work because I find it hard to be prepared for rising costs when having it done elsewhere. But I have plenty of skills and an equipped home workshop.
I had a pair of bumpers rechromed a few years ago and a quoted price nearly tripled. But the original quote was verbal and not in writing so I had no proof. The chrome job done was superb though and I managed to pay straight away. And I went back to have more done after.
William I thats good you have the knowledge and tools! I try to do everything myself but welding is way above my pay grade 😂
For what he did I would say that was cheap. Thats the cost of motoring lad.
Most places will charge £3000-£5000 for the chassis leg work!
I was shocked was so cheap !
@@FaithlessEmoRacing He did say they dropped labour by half so add an extra £1200 on top of that and you are around the £3000 area. If he did it im self then it would drop alot As he mentioned "its above his pay grade" You can buy a 100cm x 50cm 3mm sheets of steel for £20. £1400 imo is expensive but if we saw the work that went into it then we would all probably say is Cheap for the amount of work
Begwood strikes again
Joe King be reet patreon will pay for it 😂
A decent wraps £1500 and your on your third! All that work was dirt cheap imo
Bit ungrateful, at a normal garage you’d be looking at £2500+ genuinely saddened by your attitude mate
Pawsy McBackup he explains on his pinned comment
Dave is a legend, and he knows I know that. I am merely explaining that spending 1.5k has hurt me financially, some of us aren’t as fortunate to have thousands in the bank; I have never once said anything bad about the work he has done, I am merely explaining that it’s a lot of money to me
Pawsy McBackup The started quote should be what you pay. Companies legally shouldn't be able to quote one price &then at the end ask for double the quote.
diesel92kj1 obviously Dave asked lee if he could do the extra work he wouldn’t have just done it, it’s the same if you go to any garage they will ask the customer firsthand otherwise it could put them out of pocket.
Lee Lockwood yes mate I understand, bills for cars can be extortionate but at least now you have something that feels like it’s had money spent on it. It did seem like you was taking the piss because of what the cost came to but who wouldn’t be it is a lot of money. Not many garages would let you pay in instalments aswell as the discounted price so remember that 😆
Dude wtf why you complaining that's a bargain after you slaged the guy off after doing such a good job and at that price I think you need to seriously apologise to him
1500 for 3 weeks worth of work and your complaining...
You have been charged mates rates,id be making sure he gets settled up asap.
Don't run 3 cars if you can't afford the repairs on 1. Relying on the goodwill of larkspeed isn't the way to go. Yeah I'd like a new skyline and I could get 1 on tick but I couldn't afford to run it. Life lessons 101????
Alright dad chill out...
When you have wanted it since you are 10 years old. £1500 to keep the dream alive is lightwork. Keep up the good work lad.
As others have said and I’m sure you realise, for that amount of work, that is a seriously good price!!
I was expecting at least 3 grand mate. You got the best deal ever. The amout of work done it should have been 5 grand. Honestly. Best deal ever.
Lockwood lift up the mattress 🤣🤣 bargain price
Costin Coteanu 5k? You're mad. More like it was about right. Problem is quoting him one price him agreeing to that price and the doubling it once agreed without his knowledge.
It is a pro shop. The man does work for racing teams. It's not cheap. Labour is not cheap. Parts for evos Also a quote is just that an estimate. Also he didn't double it without his knowledge Lee was there when the issues were found and agreed on the work being done. Therefore accepted price would be higher. I don't know full context, but from what i can gather is that the mechanic underestimated the amount of time the work would take (more issues might have been sorted) and Lee expected less. Based on the last video where he is with him i was expecting between 3-5k considering the shop where he brought it to. It's realistic to expect pro work done at high premiums.
1400 quid?! I had the mechatronic unit go on my DSG and it was 2 grand alone, that's nothing for a car like that mate, I'd say you didnt get a bad deal there to sort the whole car out
Ethan Gunnett yeah no I did get a good deal, not saying I didn’t.. just saying that its a rather bit of money regardless 😂
Common DSG issue we DSG owners get billed for 😭
@@itsleelockwood not knocking ya mate, just saying that you either know exactly what you're doing with used car buying or you have been very lucky to have 1400 has your highest repair bill, especially with an evo!
@@polluxtroy69 yeah 100%, especially with the Dq200 box, not going to lie it's a terribly built box
@@ligma_nutz what do you drive mate? I've the fabia MK2 VRS. Literally just been billed the same cost to repair the ABS. Definitely shouldn't be dead after 43,000 miles / 6years. So I feel your pain on that cost!
I can’t believe how ungrateful you are here.
You should have gotten him to check the cost with you before he did the work, my mechanic checks everything with me.
Seriously Lee he’s done you a solid for all that work. £1400 is a bargain.
£1500 for all that work.....don’t be so f”#king tight lol call around and get a quote for that amount of work and you’ll be looking at double
Ross Hart he’s just saying it’s alot of money mate, no one wants to spend that much on repairs
A lot of money to spend on an old car that's been around the clock imho !
The list of all the work sounds like you bought a shed hahaha
You should sit down and take stock of your position in life, many people struggle to keep one car, how many do you have! You have changed.
£1,500?! Absolute bargain.
I wouldn't take your evo on track if £1500 is expensive!
1500 is a bargain for all that work lad!
Considering all the work carried out that was a great price. I had a Ford KA I turboed myself back in the day, cost 1.5k for a remap, injectors, and other bits done.
From hearing all the thing that was done to the car and who did all the job, very very good price.
Enjoy Eva Lee!
Can't complain at the price, looks like he's done you a huge favour at £1419!!!
that bill is worth it all day long. best bit of money you probably ever spent... job well done.
Not only has he given you a bargain price it’s refreshing to see someone who takes pride in their work a proper job been carried out there.
Bit ungrateful constantly saying the price , not a big bill for what’s being done . You’ve got 3 cars so be fucken happy it’s hard to run one
1500 quid... sorry but you have had a steal here. You're in a privilege position to get parts for free through your channel. Running an Evo on on a small budget wont end well.
That's nothing for the work you had done. Bleeding the AYC pump alone took me half a day on my evo x all these things add up
1500 is incredible most garages local to me would ask 4-5k
You won't regret spending that mate, you can now fully enjoy the car and the power 😁👍
Been waiting for my Lockwood fix 🤣 glad she’s back on the road look forward to seeing the track day upload 😎
I'm welding in 2 rear chassis legs on an evo5 at work quoted the gent 4 grand along with a fully polybush
Working in the motor trade , I think uve come out the best of this , cause Dave done u a steal of a deal man , should have cost way north of the price u got , surprised if Dave's even making any money on this .......
Spent 800 on a set of P zeros tyres.. all that work for that price isnt bad.
Genuinely saddened. Theres a good few days labour there, plus it taking up space and time for more profitable jobs.
I hate it when you get a bill higher than you expect but what you got for the money is a great deal Lee.
Not a bad bill at all considering it’s an evo and the work done.
It's back 👌 love it , man they really sorted you out on that price buddy !
Even I was smiling when you were going down the motorway. Absolutely love evos but still waiting for my first one :(
Don't stop with the evo videos, even if it's just driving to the shop! Love the noise!
Great choice Lee, never get rid of it. #team evo
Yes lee so glad you treat your car with soo much pride cant wait to sit inside it when we collab soon 🙏💯❤️🔥🤣
It’s a lot of money but money well spent on your hobby/passion. Look how happy you are with the Evo now. Running and feeling sick as👍😀
People pay that invoice just for an AYC mate. Cheap as chips...
Would love to own an Evo one day, absolute beauty of a car.
😂😂😂
O poor evo owner moaning about his repair bill I bet all the1. 2 corsa drivers really feel for u
is that it, i was expecting like 3/4 grand
That's good for the amount of work they did , had a quote from Ford for 2 springs at a cost of 490 quid so doing it myself.
On about forging engine after complaining about £1400 🤦🏼♂️
£1500 isn't bad, was expecting you to say more.
ekul mgan for what I have done I know, still hurts the bank though 😂
@@itsleelockwood just keep the invoice for if / when you sell her!
Hey Lee Love The Channel! I'm a small Car Tutorial Channel here in the UK, would love to work with you one day, do a Tutorial on the Evo! Keep up the great vids!
As long as you are happy with the quality of the work and it future proofs your car, then it’s worth the cost. Love that fact you are honest about how you feel and don’t bullshit about stuff. Keep up the good work lee.
I literally just paid 1420 on my scooby new comp clutch Lightweight flywheel, both rocker gasket covers, new stainless up pipe new header tank and new sti tmic and still gotta be booked in again in 2 weeks 😂 it never stops 👌🔥🇯🇵
Respect to you Lee.. a lot of people that do car channels don't care for money or costs they just spend spend soend.. you make the dream a reality by being so down to earth.. I for sure would sweat if I landed a £1500 bill .. but big up then lads for helping you out too.. evo community is full of golden lads
Really think you should look at modernising the cabin a little next... Not too much. But maybe a radio that has a pop out screen display with nav etc?? 👌👌 Would really look good and make the interior a nicer place to be. Then buckets etc. 👌👌👌Loving the content and the line "this car isn't for the channel, it's for me" was a good point 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻keep it up lad 💯
Great video Lee, keep it up.
Shame about the repair cost. On a positive note at least us viewers funded the bill for the repair
Motion have seriously looked after you with that price!
To be fair thats a decent invoice. 1400 is nothing really
1500 quid bill not alot really for the work that's been done. And u should have agreed a price first. Biggest bill i had was 3500. Suck it up lockwood Evo life.
Wish my bills were £1400 😂
meh. only 1400 , i thought it be like 2k+ lol. not a bad price for all that work.
Your car is so much better now lee yes
Worth every penny that mate 👍
Defiantly worth every penny for labour you got off lightly lee
go and enjoy your newly setup car !! i hope to do the same one day...
Glad you got it back & enjoying it, but seriously be grateful you're getting away with so many freebies & discounts. I've got mine to be looked at for some welding next year, I won't get any discount & have a mortgage to pay, so a bill like that shouldn't be huge for you. Try saving now & then for when things go wrong, can't always spend money on only fun things in this life ;0)
Although always seems like a lot you get what you pay for
Always had to pay by credit card for type r jobs as never had the cash but either that or no car or driving a car with a fault.or in some cases just modifying and knowing you can pay it back eventually
What was hourly rate for motion as he has done a fantastic job
1400 sounds like about 20hrs plus VAT. Would have taken 50 hrs on driveway also so savings there
Should’ve been around £2200-£2500 for all that work.
I have a similar problem with my fiesta, steering is super light and clutch is shocking.. ramming the gear stick in every gear does give my arms a good workout though haha
Don't underestimate what a deal you got. That's nothing for the amount of work that was done.
Love Lee when he's got the big grin on his face ❤️
Don’t forget bet EVO has amazing grip at speed round a corner too compared to other cars. Good to get stuff fixed especially if keeping the car a while.
Good to see her back
That conman pulled your pants down.
Your not gonna be on daves good book for after you moaned about the price
Previous cars where bangers so not surprised really
Lack of inspection and buying the cheapest evo around at the time what did you expect
'Nom de plume' 👍
When your good at stuff and you know it. You dont work for nothing bro.
Bloody Hell Lee. You had a huge amount of work done. I had a coolant pipe pop off my 911 Turbo 6 weeks ago which cost me £2,000 for a engine drop out to fix a £2 sealant. In the spring you can review it 👍🏻
I was expecting you to say 3-4K for the work done. A good job done cheap I'd say mate 👍🏻
So many people getting triggered, it's all for the lols guys. Love that feeling you get when you get to drive it again after so long.
Get the evo badges back on Lee.
Yes £1500 is a lot of money to most people and most of us would be gutted to hand over £1500 but is £1500 a lot of money for the work he’s had done? No, not at all. It would of been ‘better’ to simply say, it cost £1500 which had made me skint but I’m grateful they did all that work for such a good price....
£1400 was cheap Lad & they don’t call Evo’s money pits for nothing! 🤣
Feel your pain Lee, just spent around the same getting my Impreza poly bushed.
"so I hope it's nice weather"
*VIDEO ABRUPTLY ENDS*
🤣🤣🤣
I would have expected to pay around £2000-2500 for the amount and quality of the work carried out. A bodger would have plated over the rusty inner skins and left you non the wiser. Well done motionmotorsport_ltd.
I was expecting it to cost a lot more. Considering the type of car your working on it's pretty good value
Did you film any footage of the track time at Silverstone?
"Haha lool touch wood... SHIT" 😂😂😂 brilliant
guess it needed done eh. bet she drives a treat now lad.
For all that work 1500 sounds a decent price
That’s not dear at all I had the injectors changed. Turbo upgraded and a walbro pump fitted simtek mapped for 1200 quid by oma performance tuning. Even though mine were just sorta bolt ons you had lots of hard work done the welding alone is a Lota doe. You did very well be very very gratefull
Evo coming along nicely and trust me 1400 is cheap but when you got bills and stuff to pay it still hurts. Keep up the good content
Awesome video great job
Couldn’t expect that to be any cheaper, that’s a fucking mint price cheap as fuck, Got lucky with the price there mate. At least it’s all back up and sorted boom!!
Yeah it's quite a big bill, But totally worth it mate 👍🏻
Great work, great job and nice to see her back on the road. The price I the price at the end of the day and for a trained mechanics with that experience I’d be well chuffed at £1419 I’d even leave a tip for that workmanship. Not many genuine people around but Dave has certainly worked his magic on your car enjoy and now you know safe in the knowledge it ain’t going knowhere. I’m sure eva will be around for many a blast out on the open roads or track enjoy lee I would
Buys an evo....complains about £1500 repair bill 🤦🏻♂️
Hurts paying that much but its worth it in the end when you’ve got a solid car
£1500 is fuck all man, I'm £1200 for front discs and pads alone on the M5, £313 for an oil change £100 for a brake fluid change
