Not a big job, maybe and hour or so if you have all the bits to hand.

You get front and rears changed for £50 if you supply the parts??????

Or, do you get fleeced for the cost of the discs and pads but only pay £50 labour?

If you live in the Poole/Bmth area and are interested, let me know. Not sure you will get the same price, as I have been a customer for over 12yrs at this garage and they do treat me extremely well. However I seriously doubt it would be stupidly more expensive

Naa, I'm miles away.

Must be nice to have such a friendly garage local though.
