Make sure the crankcase breather Isnt blocked first!
Isn’t that the point of a garage though, to fix cars? They would be paid whatever the labour is accordingly plus any parts, VAT and fluids/consumables used. Why does making money have to come into it? Yes I understand they have overheads like any business, but the labour charges per hour and mark-up on any parts covers that. No one expects them to do it for nothing.

Unless you mean they can make more money doing other things like servicing and less involved repairs, which I get to an extent.
