Cars can be expensive to run and maintain. Often when the car needs repairs of even a service, the parts for the repair/ service can cost as much if not more than the labour. Garages will obviously buy the parts at a certain price and then add their bit of profit on top. Some garages add rather a lot on top too making the part far more expensive than it needs to be. You may consider finding the parts yourself. You can use a number of companies such as Euro Car Parts to find parts with ease. Often just typing your reg number in and picking the parts is as complicated as it gets.  If you are sourcing your own parts, be sure to find a garage or mechanic that will be happy to fit them for you as some garages will only do it if they supply the part.
