Hi folks Newbie here,
Just put my 02
A4 TDI130 in for service this morning, it's on the longlife schedule and was given the following information regarding prices. Which I would add I'm not quearying although the cambelt cost is extortionate but was aware of this in advance.
Service £290.
Cambelt £590.
Replace rear brake pads £125.
Replace rear roll bar sleeves or joints £225
Brake Fluid change £95
Total £1325
Got back to the office and called same garage to check on a set of rear brake pads, £30.05 inclusinve VAT. Therefore hourly rate for pads is around £31.66 and they want 3 hours. My question is. Is this reasonable for a set of rears?? I have over the years become lazy and am not a bad spannerman having spent may years rallying and Rally Xing cars of all ages but as I find now I prefer to pay someone else most of the time or let the lease company pay for it and then give it back at end of lease.
I bought this car 3 years ago when made redundant and I have absoutely no complaints with it. Fantastic machine..!!
