Broke a spanner on it

430 quid for 2 tyres fitted, disks and pads fitted and alignment carried out sounds great
Yeah sorry the discs were heavily worn (he quoted 19.5mm iirc?)
Suzuki sx 4 2010 and pirelli tyres (moved both new tyres to the front) . Not sure on tyre size tbh!
(the tyre at the back was around 2/3mm tread so not much)
I did haggle 20% off! Was initially quoted around 530 and a few Extras (tyre insurance etc)

It's not that bad - pair of front discs and set of pads for that combined come to about £130 or thereabouts. Usually £40 or so for tracking? Plus an hour or so labour for fitting discs/pads at £40 ish and you're at something like £210 without the tyres and £220 on top for a pair of Pirellis. Seems pretty reasonable.
Disks and pads combined are about £100, £25 for tracking (where I last had it done), £40 to fit disks and pads, £10 a wheel to fit the tyres, is £185.
Pair of Pirelli's for an SX4 would be between £120 and £180 depending on the wheels it has, so £305 - £365 total for the work depending on tyre size.
Add a tenner here and a fiver there if tracking is usually £40 at that place, maybe labour was £50 not £40, etc, I suppose it is getting there...
Not rip off of the century.

Yeah I was expecting it's medium /expensive tbh (but I needed tyres ASAP)
From what I recall (bill is in car)
2x tyres 170inc
2x tyre fitting 30inc (this seems expensive!)
2x front discs 130inc
2x front disc pads 70inc
Wheel alignment 40 Inc (also seems expensive!)
I would have ordered tyres etc online and paid just for labour had I pre empted it a bit, but this wouldn't solve the nail puncture issue
. It was one rather expensive trip to the gym!
I suppose it's OK because I had about 1500quid of business mileage last year. (and this is the only consumable thus far)

about £100 labour to fit the disks and pads then...
They must have included the labour in the prices, because a set of front brake pads do not cost £70, and a pair of disks do not cost £130.
I'm fairly sure something with carbon ceramic discs or something fancy would cost more than that per disc..

Mines nearly £4000 for a single disc to replace them on mine, pad are not too bad mind as they are around £300 ~ quid.
