Hi all,

I have an '04 Mini Cooper. I belive I need discs and pads all round, definitely on the front so have decided to get em all done.

From my usual performance workshop I had a quote of £350 which went up to £501 after I handed over my reg and waited for a call back. These guys are aware that expense is hardly spared when involving my cars.

I was ready to just do it but called another local outfit who are of similar local prestige. They came back with £354.60p Both quoted for genuine BMW/Mini parts all round including sensors.

What should I be paying? I would like to be paying the latter but I want to make sure I'm getting what i ask for, i.e. genuine parts on the car and have them done properly.

I've used both outfits before for several German motors and have been happy with their service.

I can provide URLs for both garages if this helps.

Thanks and thanks ofr all the posts and info on here.

Not a frequent user but always comes up trumps for me.
Ta.

Based on info from BMW, parts should cost £186.09 then labour is roughly £158. So About £350 sounds fine to me.

Louis,

Thanks very very much. With proces as well you have put me at ease and opened my eyes with regards to my ususal repairer.

I'll reply again once the job's done and I've tested the job out.

Thanks again. :)

No problem.

Service & Costs analysis is what i do for my job, so if anyone has any questions i can try and help.

Not just Minis, any car pretty much.
