is 220 an alright price for front brake discs and shoe fitted for an astra?

Mr.David · 08-10-2009 7:56am

What exactly are you getting done? Front discs (and pads?) and rear shoes?

Scruff · 08-10-2009 8:02am

front dics and pads

Tipsy Mac · 08-10-2009 8:06am

Yes sounds very reasonable. Id imagine the parts would be a good €150plus.

Kelly Madeupski · 08-10-2009 8:21am

really good price, are u sure its including vat? to do rr shoes and discs is €330 for a yaris. take that price dude

Including labour yes, it's not cheap but you have to have brakes

has anyone ever bought these types of parts of ebay or are they too crucial a part to risk it? For example a set of pads and disks could have cost me < €60 delivered
I was in a bit of a rush to get them as i'll be doing a lot of driving this weekend and they were in a bad way. just wondering for future reference.

Spurious things bought on ebay are usually rubbish. Taking a risk on and induction kit or something might be worth it but I wouldn't take a chance on brakes

I bought 4 discs and a full set of pads for my fathers mk4 golf. €95 inc shipping and VAT.
Discs are grand but pads are sh!te.
Porsche 911 engines have failed because of spurious oil filters:eek:

I got four sets of Comline dics and pads on ebay and did the work myself.
About 120 Euro or thereabouts.

sounds a bit dodge to me, spurious parts are never a good idea unless you can get them from a good place and they are defo the right size - check the part numbers and ring a dealer and make sure it corresponds to your car. otherwise you cant send them back if ur wrong and if u fit wrong size parts ur f*cked with no comeback!! ru in dublin? City autos on Greenhills rd will get u right spurious parts cheap and they have a database of which parts suits which car.

Just done my own font discs & front pads myself recently. Parts from a local motor factors came to €103 including VAT (Quinten Hazell discs and Ferodo pads) + €8 can of brake cleaner. Labour took me about 40mins per side and I was taking it reasonably easy.
