Had a quote to fit new rear brake calipers, discs and pads as the old ones were seized and rusted.
They quoted me £650 for budget saving calipers I found exactly same ones online for £130
£240 for brake discs and pads, I found the lot online for for under £80.
And quoted me £130 for 90 mins work which was fine but considering that I'd be paying an extra £700 extra for parts then needed the real price for labour was well over £850 for 90mins.
I asked them if I get the parts can they fit them for the £130 labour charge.
Of course they said they can't as they have to get the parts there self
I fitted it all myself in the end took me 90mins it was my first time doing it and now it's past mot.
I did take it to a mechanic to do a brake flush and get some left over air out lines but this only cost around £40
Do not use these people my advice is to order the parts online and take it to a private mechanic to fit them.
