I'd usually do most work myself, but with how friggin freezing it is and no heated garage, i'm just looking at buying the discs & pads and letting a subaru specialist do the swap over, how much should i be looking at on labour for the full job? Cheers

An hour?

Yeah i thought the same, but just spoke to a local specialist and they said 2 hours, i could do it myself on a trolleyjack and axel stands in less than an hour n half, nevermind a fully kitted out garage.

there's always a bit of time between jobs that someone has to pay for as well...

Things I can think of off the top of my head are:

* parts finding/collection, unwrapping, cleaning
* faffing about with the computer system to produce an invoice
* hand over car to customer, collect money etc etc
* getting the car into the bay, getting it jacked up etc


2 hours doesn't sound too bad... a local subaru garage (no longer in business) wanted to charge me 600 quid just for the front brakes (pads + discs).

If it was me doing the job Id want £80 bud.

2 hours sounds fair to me.

2 hrs is fair. Thats 30mins a corner. With proper cleaning of caliper, maybe cleaning and greasing sliders or pins. Cleaning the hub surface so the discs fit nice and ofcourse adjusting the handbrakes shoes. Half hr a corner is what it would take to do a proper job

it depends on which calipers it is too.if its the brembos and they havnt been off in a while,they have a habbit of being seized to the bolt and it can bring the threads out with it.

My garage said £70 disc & pads all round sound fair enough
