Brake pads/discs

[noel-pilot]

I need my front brake pads replacing and I dont want to do it myself.

How much should I look to pay for supply and fitting?

Went to my local pro tyre today and they said £89 for discs, pads and fitting. When i asked why I needed discs they said that if they fitted new pads with old discs there may be issues with them bedding in etc.

Is this right?

(as an additional note - renault quoted me £92 just for front pads with fitting!!)

You do not necessarily need to change your discs at all...that is someone trying to sell u it mate.

£89 for front brake discs and pads fitted is a good price. discs need changing if there worn thin,the braking surface is corroded or if the braking surface of the disc is worn uneven.

Running scored or heavily worn discs with new pads reduces their lifespan by about 25-30% in the first few miles as alot of pad material is worn off so the pad matches the disc face.

Brake efficiency is also poor as hell with old scored discs.
