I wonder how the hell they can wriggle out of that one, when you challenge them.... Censored stealers indeed.

Probably the guy who quoted you the 1.5 hours just looked in the manual and saw that replacing a starter motor takes 1.5 hours, not knowing that the starter motor has to come out anyway.
So yes challenge them. Roel

i think that they never remove the starter while doing the belt and just want to be paid for that

Hi,
When doing the belts the starter is unbolted from the engine & moved forwards with the wiring attached, not removed completely, so a small additional time should be allowed to unbolt wiring & remove..... but no where near 1.5hrs.

HTH
Regards
