How long has the noise been present? If more than a couple of days, you may need new discs, but if you have not gone far since it began, they may be OK with a clean up, which mainly involves "roughing Up" the surface, to clean of surface corrosion and "bed in" the new pads.

£234 for rear pads and discs is not excessive nowadays, but do ask to see the used parts. Not saying that they WILL defraud you, but have seen it done when I worked in the trade.

Bad grinding for about a week. Job was done today and I did see worn parts.

FYI, I asked about labour charge in my area and its £59 p/h and job took about 1 1/2 hours.

I don't think I could have got job done for any less and I'm happy with service.

It's not always about what you save, but about what you spend... and £234 still sounds very expensive for rear pads & discs, which any competent mechanic should be able to do in under an hour.

Thats true there have been some crazy quotes there complete rip off and the OP paid a lot of money. £59 an hour with 1.5 hrs work!!Blimey that's expensive. I'm going to take my car for rear pads and discs soon and I know a local garage who will do it for £20 if I supply the parts, which will only be about £75. Add that up!

Peugeot 308 automatic with 30000 miles and still under warranty. Suspect rear brake pads and discs need replacing as there is a grinding sound (sometimes) on breaking, particularly on a hard break. What would the ball-park figure for this job be? I'm assuming this wont be covered under warranty as would be considered wear-and-tear.

No more than £200
