Could be the Idle Control Valve. If they replace it the part is about £30 (patten part) and its a 10min job, but they may still charge an hours labour.

Hope this helps

is it a auto or manual. but as suggested above, good advice. check for air leaks too. may just need idle speed adjusted.

Does it stall when moving off from a junction and doing a right or left turn? If so it could be the power steering robbing you of some power just as you need it. A slightly heavier right foot should cure it.
