Cost for fitting 2 Calipers and New Pads?

[Conor D]

How long should it take to replace 2 calipers and new pads all around? The car's a Mazda MX5.

Say at £25/hr labour, would I be looking at an hour for the pads and an hour for the calipers?

I don't want to get conned, I'll be going to a small local garage so I'd like to have an idea on what to expect.

Small garages are typically £35-50 per hour (in my experience).

No more than an hour's work though.



ETA: though having said that, you'll probably get billed 1.5 hours to ensure billable hours are covered.

DIY - £0

Competent mechanic - £75 and up

As long as the caliper bolts havn't siezed and don't snap off when undoing them it should be doable in 2 hours.
