Rear brake pads and discs please?

DeeL123

Anyone know what a reasonable cost is for rear brake pads and discs please? It's a Rav 4, 02. In a garage at the moment and I've been given a quote of 230.00. Is that a reasonable price?

Doesn’t sound that unreasonable for replacing pads and discs. Would have thought a couple of hours labour £100? plus parts £100?

Front pads and discs done on my old car (yaris) came to £200 total. This was beginning of 2021 so yeah the price you have been quoted is reasonable

Thank you for the replies. First time having to sort the car myself and very green. Just wanted to know I wasn't being unfairly charged, as I really wouldn't know if I was.

Sounds like VFM to me.

NB: If you have wear indicators please check they are inc in the price

Next time, look up the price of parts at halfords/eurcaparts etc and if parts were ten quid the rest would be about and vat and this will make it easier for you to work out as all drivers have some basic knowledge of what is where.

Is the garage a Main Dealer or an independent , price of parts from Eurocar is about £40 a disc and £30 for pads plus labour.

Wear indicators? What are they and how much should it cost? All stuff I need to learn. I have to let the garage know in the morning but it's a bit difficult asking about things you have no idea about. Thank you for the help.

Wear indicators are usually attached to the pads ?

1 hour labour max plus parts.  Check price of parts on eurocarparts.  Some garages are crafty and charge eurocarpart full prices without discount

They are however free to charge whatever they wish.
