#1: Front discs and pads supply and fit - average price? Author: LeeUK, Location: NorthumberlandPosted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 6:30 am ---- Anyone know an average price for supply and fit of front discs and pads for a 206?
I've been quoted £65 from one garage and £120-£140 from another. Big difference.
#2: Re: Front discs and pads supply and fit - average price? Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 6:52 am ---- £65 would be just pads and discs!
#3: Re: Front discs and pads supply and fit - average price? Author: LeeUK, Location: NorthumberlandPosted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 7:09 am ---- That's what I thought but they confirmed the £65 included fitting.
I'm not after top of the range, just standard everyday discs and pads.

Add on about a hours labour which will vary from place to place and you will have your price.
There is no guarantee that the place charging the most will fit the best parts. They may like to make a good profit on the parts they fit. If they charge you £50 for the discs, would they prefer to make £10 profit or £35? Bear in mind that most traders get a healthy discount on parts anyway so they can do better prices than the rrp if haggled with.
Ask for a price breakdown on the parts and labour, and also ask which brand of parts they are going to fit. Don't settle for the answer "whatever the supplier sends" because most suppliers will stock 3 or 4 brands and will always send the one that they make the most profit on, although that may not be the best available.
