How we work out these prices
We start from the national range for this job at UK independent garages, taken from our how much does a cambelt replacement cost guide, and use the band for the Ford Focus's size class (family hatchback), because size, access and parts drive most of the difference between models. The Ford Focus-specific figures come from our Ford Focus common problems guide, which prices the faults known on this model. Your engine, gearbox, mileage and location all change the final bill, and labour rates in London and the South East are higher. These are guides, not quotes and not AutoFixFair prices: post your job to get real prices for your car.
