Just failed MOT and been given a quote for repair by the garage, obviously going to ring round on Monday but wondered if the prices were good/bad/what I should expect from other garages..
Nearside rear (main) Brake pipe excessively corroded
Offside rear (main) Brake pipe excessively corroded
Rear (center) Brake pipe excessively corroded
Nearside front Anti-roll bar linkage worn and seriously weakened
Front brake pad(s) less than 1.5mm thick.
He just pulled prices from his head as it's late on a Saturday, but quoted the following:
All break pipes (inc labour) £80
ARB linkage: £15
Break Pads £20
Labour for pads/linkage: £30
Total £145
Is this reasonable, should I be looking for cheaper, or is it about the going rate? (currently in West Yorkshire if it makes any difference)
Thanks.

Oops  I can't believe I done that, I do know the difference, honest! 
And thanks all, I'll ring a couple to see if they'll beat his price, if not it'll be off back to the same place

Normally if you the garage that did the MOT does the fix you should get the retest free

He said I had 10 days to take it back for a partial retest, didn't mention a cost for it, and didn't even try to quote me for the repairs until I asked, MOT was only £35 anyways

That won't be a dealership at those prices 
I'd take him up on it, that quote is good!
