How much have people paid to get a power run done?

Place in Northwich wants £60 plus VAT

Mikeanics in Congleton wants £25 plus VAT...

Is this average?

That's 17 above standard isn't it. Would it be worth taking it there?

I don't know of anwhere else that have a good reputation.

you could say that about any rr tho, im not saying dont take it there, they guy that sorted us knew what he was on about. Just take any power readings you get with a pinch of salt, when i go on any rr im more intrested in making sure its not got any big flat spots, or over fueling or whatever.

That's the main reason i want to go, flat spot spotting.

Would be interesting to see what my car's kicking out though...

ask on the local cruise site, usually get some answers there.... but usually 30-40+vat, maybe more, for a one off power run, it takes a lot longer than you think o strap the car down and check everything is ok.... people get upset with the price, but when you think about the hourly rate of somewhere it makes sence

they charge you by the hour if you go in alone. RR days are usually cash in hand

£20 for me on the VVOC rolling road day. If we had 2 more cars it would've only been £15 each...
