Labour only: we fit the parts you supply

Bought the parts yourself? Tell us what you have and what needs fitting, and we quote the labour only.

What it is

Plenty of owners source their own parts, whether that is a set of brake pads bought online, an upgrade kit, or a part that took weeks to track down. Labour only means you bring those parts and we do the fitting.

You tell us what you have, with the make and part number where you know them, and what needs doing. We quote the labour for that job, and nothing starts until you have accepted the price.

It suits straightforward jobs where the right part is already in hand. If anything about the part or the job needs checking first, we say so before any work goes ahead.

When to book it

  • You have bought the parts and want them fitted properly
  • A kit or upgrade has arrived and needs a workshop to fit it
  • You know exactly what the car needs and have the part already
  • You want the labour priced before you commit

How we handle it

Send a quote request with the parts you have and the job, and a photo or two if it helps. Abid looks at it and sends a clear price for the labour.

The parts are checked against the car before the work starts. If something does not match, you hear about it first, so it can be sorted before any labour is spent.

What to expect

  1. Send the parts list, the job and your reg
  2. A clear labour price to your phone
  3. Accept it, then pick a day to bring the car and the parts in
  4. Kept updated while the work is done, and walked through it when you collect

Questions answered

Do you fit parts I have bought myself?

Yes. Tell us what you have and what needs fitting, and we quote the labour only.

What should I include in the request?

The parts you have, with the make and part number if you know them, what needs doing, and your reg. Photos of the parts help.

Can I book a time straight away?

Labour is quoted first, because every job is different. Once you accept the price you pick a day to bring the car and the parts in.

What if the part turns out to be wrong for the car?

We check the parts against the car before starting and tell you straight away, so you can sort the right part before any work is done.
