Had the tensioner go on my 'tractor' a while ago, local garage I use (have done for years) did the whole job, tensioner, pulley & belt for £86 inc VAT.
Invoice I have quotes £30 for complete tensioner/pulley, £9 for belt, labour £34  + VAT on the total.
Mind you, tractors maybe different!! 

So would think there has been a bit of overpricing going on

Thanks to all the garage did put a tensioner on (the whole kit) and new belt the labour charge was £90 that includes putting anti freeze in which i never asked for so ?? to that one.

As The Boy says, still waaaay too much for the job done! Vx 'only' charge £90 an hour.

I'll remember to not go there then .... not that I've ever used them. I do know around there, my Parents live across the road from where McPherson's used to be, but now live at Brandleholme.

If you can't do jobs like that yourself for whatever reason, I'd gladly help ..... I do shifts which give me whole days off. and I wuldn't have charged you £190
