Volkswagen Golf 2012: Repair costs

Asked by Luca

I've been to the mechanic to replace the clutch and flywheel, timing belt and logbook service of 120,000 km in my 2012 Volkswagen Golf. I have the feeling that he’s trying to rip me off with the price as he charged me $2000 for the clutch. I’ve been searching around and the average price is $1200. Can you help me with the real price and what should I do with the mechanic?

If it’s a dual-mass flywheel, then $2000 doesn’t sound excessive, but to be sure phone around a few VW dealers and get their process.
