Default Spraying AGAIN

So been to a few body shops for the classic to have the arches done, went to 3 aj comptons which I've seen some of his work in the past and it's ok but not brilliant, the place I took my last impreza but he gaur entered this time it would be a better job, (not even gonna go there) then as people on here recommended leeds motors I tried them aswell (now rpm body work or something like that) let's just say the prices varied dramatically,
Aj's was £750
The paint repair shop £500
Then leeds motors said they would email me a quote, just had the quote through and to say I was shocked is a understatement lol,

A bit pricey that quote......

I've been quoted £860 for
Front Bumper
Front Splitter
Front Fog Covers
Bonnet
N/S & O/S Rear arches (cut back inner lip to spot welds for more clearance)
N/S & O/S Rear arches (cut out small amount of rust, weld new metal in & repaint)

I think he said it was about 22 hours work but he would charge for 20 and I think that's at about £35 per hour, then plus materials/paint.

If your 'Leeds' lot are charging £1300 for labour that's either twice as much time or twice as much per hour.
