JamieR85 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Im needing my discs and pads done all round and will be buying the parts this week. Ive never done brakes or anything similar before and dont want to make a meal of it, ive had quotes from garages to fit them and to be honest i reckon they are at it, would anyone local to Falkirk be willing to do this job for a decent rate? I know a lot of you guys on here have done this many times and are much more competent than me. Is there anyone that can help me? Cheers Jamie.

The rear ones on mine were a bit more tricky. I know my mate has just had a price of someone around here and they are doing it for £80 cash. Have you tried your local Kwik Fit, ATS or HiQ. Some of these places can be cheap sometimes. Offer them pound notes and that will save you a little bit.

davey l wrx Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Kwik Fit won't do it unless they supply the parts. I've tried them before and that was the answer. They didn't want anyone claiming they'd fitted crap, etc. Made me laugh cos of course they only fit top spec stuff when they do a job. A local independant is your best bet. The price from Hypertech is what i paid last week to get the new Godspeed kit fitted all round on mine while it was in for a servicing.
