    Depends on where you go.

    You want both sides front done yeah?
    Pads, less than 50 for two pairs
    Labour, less than an hour.

    I fitted the front pair on my friends Kia Sportge in under 2 hours. The Pads cost €37 and i had all the tools already. Loads of videos like this one online showing how...

    I was amazed at how easy it was.

    Just a thought if you want to save money, but make sure you are mechanically competent before attempting it.

    I fitted mine recently in about 15 mins both front. I went into motor factors and asked for brake pads. He said I will have to take them off to get a set to fit(The type of car it was) so I went out side took them off and and got a new set went outside again and fitted them. It was even probably less then 15 mins. And no I'm not a mechanic I just learned how to do it on my old car. very easy job to do.
