Is this a reasonable price?

[Kentish]

I'm a bit out of touch with labour rates and book times so does this sound OK to you (I personally think it's rather high for an independent garage).

Little Nissan family hatch (2011 car); front discs & pads and rear shoes.

£300 inc parts and labour + VAT.

Just checked with the Nissan Main Dealer and their price was about £360 inc VAT which suggests to me that the Inde garage is a bit expensive.

Thanks all

Not sure of the design but I very recently did front discs and pads on a Suzuik Swift in under 1 hour on my driveway. Camskill had a special offer on a disc and pad set at £40ish all in.

I've not done rear shoes but think they are simpler.

Trouble is garage needs to pay VAT, Rates and other bills etc so £300 while a lot of money for a simple job probably isn't too much of a mickey take.

So you're saying two places quoted roughly the same amount for the same job?

I get that one is a main dealer and the other an indie, but it seems 'reasonable' to me.

(Apart from paying £360 to anyone for doing something it takes an hour to do on your driveway)
