Had brakes replaced...... How much ?
« on: November 09, 2015, 05:19:47 pm »
Hi
A friend of my wife's owns his own garage. He has upgraded all my brakes, discs and pads..
Don't know exactly what he has upgraded to yet, but they are race pagid version ....
He has also replaced brake fluid for the one you lot suggested , blue something ( can't remember  :ashamed:
What price roughly would be a good price ?
Thanks

Going on the information you have given I would say a fair price to pay would be somewhere between £200-£3,000.

Hope that helps.  :happy2:

Never ever heard anyone say pagid were no good..... Not even the cheap end
I have been charged what the garage owner got them for NOT what you and me would get them for !!
As I said before, the job has been done on ' mates rates '
