2015 model. £600 for rear pads.

Is that the norm for a main dealer?

If that's the supply and fit of rears pads only, it's pretty awful.

These are your pads for £154.67

Make what you will of that the fact that you're likely being charged circa £450 for an hour of labour.

There's a thread, which although slightly out of date (from a pricing perspective) details part numbers and alternatives here

Any competent mechanic should be able to change pads, you might want to invest in some jacking pads for that extra piece of mind.

I was quoted £500 2 years ago from Works....I bought some off ebay and did them myself a few weeks later. Unless you have gone down to the wires, you may find they are not as worn as you think, the dealer recommendation err on the side of caution.
