Er, £170 for front pads and disks?

Nope, this was a girl without a clue with cars so I think they saw her coming...
Standard front disks, standard pads, + fitting. Only a lower model, not an RS model.

Thought so.

i can get new discs for £12 each and pads are £8 - labour is 0.6 hrs £25. The owner of that garages wants flogging - especially for taking advantage of a nice young lady.

genuine discs are £40 retail ( £33 trade ) and pads are £25 retail ( £20 trade )
Hmmm... I think a bit of subterfuge is tempting...
I'll email her and get some more details so I can plan the next move! lol

Ok - details are as follows:
Clio Expression 1.2
kwik fit Acton, 231 The Vale, London W3 7QE
Rang her at 09:25 to say it was the work below, then rang again at 10:44 to say it was ready to go (so an hour's labour max?)
Invoice is as follows:
Description..............Unit Price.....Qty...... Price inc VAT
Brake Disc...............£54.40.........2..........£108.80
Brake Pads...............£61.10........1...........£61.10
Supplies/Materials......£1.99.........1............£1.99
Total Price inc Vat................................ £171.89
(hope that comes out alright)
Paid by Credit Card. (could you ring the card company to dispute the transaction based on it being a rip off?)
I think that's taking the piss myself, though I imagine that it includes labour in the cost of the parts.
Thoughts?

ok - more research has revealed discs are about £50/pair TOPS and pads are about £20 for an ickle 1.2. (GSF)
An hour for labour at, say, £40, and I make that £60 of rip off on top...
And what the f**k is "supplies/materials £1.99"? That much for a squirt of copper slip or something??
Hmmmmm... :-/

I would ring them and demand a refund for excessive billing
I'm really not sure what to say to them if I do!
Apart from saying "you're f**king rip pff merchants who are taking the p*ss", which is stating the obvious but they'll just laugh lol
