If you like to go the cheapest option then disc 20EUR and pads 13EUR. Labor do not pay over 1 hour, it is around 40EUR + tax (total about 50EUR). So total 145EUR + 5EUR tip = 150EUR.

Just the other day, we had a Sportage in for used car prep and it needed front pads and discs, we would always put genuine parts on the non franchise stuff to be safe and front pads and discs from Kia were just under €600+vat for the parts at trade!
Midnight_EG wrote: » Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. All depends on your area too IMO, my last garage (also Hyundai) we sold mainly spurious because it's more 'middle class'. This one, however, is 'upper class' and people mainly go genuine. Non-franchise get spurious and that's that :pac:

Would think a mechanic would get them done in an hour although the going rate might be an hour for each end. I got Ate discs and pads all round for an Audi A8 for €300.https://www.ebay.ie/itm/EBC-FRONT-REAR-DISCS-AND-PADS-FOR-HYUNDAI-I-30-1-4-2007-12/121805656079?hash=item1c5c2ed00f:g:tDkAAOSwDrNZP1t5:rk:46:pf:0

The fake ones cost really cheap price, 7EUR disc and 5EUR pads.I do not suggest these even to enemies. The car brakes are too important. Most of the cars using the compatible brake systems because these qualify for OEM specification. Yes every manufacturer can use OEM logo on package if they follow the specs. The genuine are for freaks, who can pay 1k for simple brake job, it is about 5-6 times higher than average cost!!!

tmcdlk wrote: » Did you have your wheels refurbished or have non factory wheels? Common problem with the F10 is when the wheels are refurbished the inner centre part that contacts the hub flange has been painted. This causes a reduction in the heat transfer from the brake disc to the wheel and the brake disc overheats. The solution is to remove all paint in this area down to a clean bare aluminium to allow heat transfer.

Too risky as they could come back and say the job and parts will be €600 ... Stupid they cant or wont get an accurate quote with reg number provided.
