Disc and pad costs

[sjw]

I had mine done end of last year by local trusted garage in Hampshire, I did research and Borg and Beck seemed like good make, and the outside is coated, so they haven’t rusted like the OEM did.

Brakes feel great, glad I didn’t pay the £1000 the stealer wanted.

Prices have crept up a bit since then, but this is what I paid:

Front disc and pads

Discs £104.46
Pads £45.24
Labour £94.80
Sub Total £244.88
Vat £48.90
TOTAL £293.40

Rear discs and pads

Discs £88.30
Pads £33.48
Labour £126.40
Sub Total £248.18
Vat £49.63
TOTAL £297.81

To answer my own question at the top of page 2, paid £640 last week for both front and rear discs and pads at the local franchised VW dealer (Inchcape).

Tried booking via the website first and they wanted approx £1k. So rang them up and asked for a quote over the phone and was told £640.

I'm not saying there won't be cheaper garages out there, but this was the best I could do for genuine VW parts.

Always worth calling round different dealers and asking for diclscount once you get a price from one they will usually all match it

They will probably ask for it in writing as its in the T&C of price matching.

Yeah I had this last year when shopping around for a cam belt. The closest dealer wouldn't even match the price on the VW website!
