£45 is on the high end of the scale, but if he is a top notch mechanic then its ok........how long has he quoted you for the job, as an hour is plenty to have a couple of tea breaks thrown in too
It is now time to change the chain and sprocket on my bike. I have already bought genuine Yamaha items. I have been quoted £45 for labour by the guy who MOT'd my bike. Is it reasonable?

Is it reasonable?If its an endless chain requiring removal of the swingarm, then it's cheap,If its a rivet link chain then it should only take 40 mins max, so including VAT, it's probably ok

I don't like the idea of leaving my bike there for the whole day ( and it is 10 miles from my home ) so I will have to find a proper bike repairers to do it while I wait.
