How much should it cost to repair a Vauxhall Corsa C windscreen wiper motor?

by admin on February 18, 2011

The first garage i took the car to quoted me £250?! surely that cant be right can it?. A timing chain i had replaced a few years ago only cost me £300 and that was 2 days work!

the car is a Vauxhall Corsa C X-reg 1.0

You should be able to buy a second hand one from a scrap yard for around a tenth of what you are being quoted for fitting a new one. You are being taken for a ride.

Windscreen wiper motors, if not buried somewhere where lots of other stuff has to be removed, are incredibly easy to swap out and replace. Should be 20 – 30 minutes work, maximum.
