What a price! No wonder we tend to throw away rather than mend

The call out fee must be included with the labour cost......

Yes, that's why I think the call out fee is included in that as there is no other mention of it on the receipt

I'm so pleased you are back up and running again Mags! and you must be so relieved that a repair was possible rather than having to replace it.
