Brake pad prices

[300+]

Hi all,

How much should I be paying for replacement pads? I seem to remember that the prices vary a lot.

I'm in Brisbane.

Cheers, Steve

From Marfleet the TRW brand Just under $70 a set

I've just been quoted $1360 to replace the pads on my 2006 D3...by Brisbane Austral dealer.

So I'll be looking elsewhere. Thanks for the info.

I took mine to Austral last week as I couldn't find somewhere I was happy with. I'm on the road so I don't have the exact bill, but it was around $700 including everything. Half parts half labour. This makes the pads around $160 a pair.

This was both sets of pads for a 06 V8.

I was initially quoted a high price and at the time I paid I was told that it was a figure pulled out of the air. After he'd done that to me and noticed the difference you think that he would have remembered the actual price.

Cheers, Steve

I checked with Austral Brisbane again re the brake pad costs and have been quoted $375 for the pads only.

The $1360 they initially told me included the 84,000K service - which makes the service a little expensive but the pads reasonable. So I'll retract my negative comments re Austral.

taking the pi$$ ?

Sux to have a D3.

My old Rangie got new rotors and pads all round fitted for $800

[Warrigal57]

I've had the pads replaced, front and rear, by MR Automotive at Redcliffe (northside Brisbane) for $330. Very happy with the price and service; drop off at 8am and pick up at 10.

I don't know what the Brisbane dealership was smoking but they finally settled on a quote of $830 for all 4 pads.

MR will be getting my business in future.
