How much should I be looking for front discs & pads

[Chris1H]

Indy/Dealers price?. In The North East somewhere really? Whats people being paying recently? And no i cant fit them myself unfortunately  not a clue!!

As a guide ring TPS on the Tyne Tunnel trading estate for the parts cost (OEM) as they have various promotions running - Labour rate varies so much so that will need a few calls I'm afraid.

My main dealer wanted £380 for front discs and pads fitted.

I bought the pads from the dealer at £70 and the discs from GSF for £80 and did them myself.

As mentioned above the price is dependant on labour rates but I'd say £150 for parts is reasonable (I always go for OEM parts rather than the cheapy cheap discs and pads).

Dealer parts at a better price subject to their promotions

I would use Pagid discs and pads, a good brand and much cheaper than main dealer prices (which are ATE parts if you must know). Also, keep an eye on Euro Car Parts and GSF Car Parts, the often run promotions regarding service parts so you can get anything from 10-50% extra off if you're patient!

My main dealer wanted £219 for both parts (not the economy parts) and fitted they wanted total price £249. £30 labour not bad.
But with the part numbers to hand I got on the bay and got both bit for £130.

I've just picked up Brembo discs and pads for a touch over £100 from euro car parts.
Discounts range from 5-10% depending on what you can find at the time.
Just got to arrange for my son to fit them now

VW scotswood road : £129
