Break disc worn out...how much the cost?

Options
Hi all forum guys.
Just wanted to have quick info on cost for replacing rear break disc in mercedez a class A150?
I live in Romford area.
Will it be cheap if I get the disc set online (auto parts) and get it fixed at garage by paying just labour?
What are the costs for set of discs and labour?
Thank you for your time.

    You'll want yo get new pads too.

    If you can find a garage that will fit your parts all well and good, don't be surprised if they won't do it.

    If you supply the goods it will be down to you if they are the wrong ones or there's an issue with them once fitted. You may save a few quid now but you'll pay two lots of labour if there are issues.

    Parts will be about £55, e.g. from Euro Car Parts, for discs and pads. Fitting should take about an hour of labour. With an idea of the parts cost you should be able to find a local garage or mechanic to supply and fit them at a reasonable price.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    The garage will pay less for them than you will. If you supply the parts then you lose any guarantee from the garage if the parts fail or if they dont fit the bill could be higher.

    Only supply parts to mates or where you get mates rates or doing it yourself.

    I had all four done on a B class, which also included new depth wear warning wires and it was £300. Dealer wanted £600!

    I doubt most garages will be receptive to fitting customer supplied parts.
    Who said they were "worn out" and what mileage has the motor done?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Buy and fit them yourself, or pay a garage to supply and fit - dont mess about trying to be clever and save a few pounds.
