I'm looking to get an idea of cost for new discs and pads for my car (front and back). I'm in Germany at the moment and I have a quote for around 600 euros which seems a little steep to me (that quote includes 130 euro labour cost).

Any ideas if this price is reasonable?

thanks

Discs are £55 pr and pads £29 set here in UK. Both plus VAT. Add about £40 labour and you have a total with vat of around £150.

So 600 Euros is about 3x too much.

The 600 euros quote was front andback - even then it's still about 200 euros too high. Looks like I'll have to do some more shopping around.
Thanks for the info !
