How much should I pay....

I got a quote of 260 for parts and labour for brake disks/pads, I decided to check on Irishautoparts for the prices out of curiosity and came up with around 75 for them, is 185 euro normal for labour for this type of job....It's a 2004 Mondeo.

Is it just brake pads front and back, or discs as well. Is it a dealer quote, or local mechanic.

As it sounds its not outrageous, depending on exactly what items you are getting fitted.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable price for the job. Is it front disks and pads or the rear?

There can be quite a variation in the price of parts depending on the brand, so you could double that 75 quid easy enough.

Then you're looking at about 2 hours labour at ~ 40 euro per hour plus VAT, assuming that's an independent garage.

Yeah, it doesn't sound particularly unreasonable.

Grand just wanted to make sure it was a normal price, It's the rear brakes that's to be done.

It'll be cheaper if you do it yourself. It's easier than you probably think

If it has disks on the back it won't be that easy for a novice diy'er and will probably require the use of a wind back tool for the callipers.

If you are vehicle savvy, and have the tools, its simple.

If not it could be akin to brain surgery:D

Not one bit vehicle savy at all
