How much to replace 2 brake pads in the UK?

My car is at Arnold Clark for its MOT and was told that it needs two front brake pads.



Total cost for the two pads and installing is 95 - is this a good price or have I been ripped off?How much to replace 2 brake pads in the UK?Without knowing the type of car, and the pads used, its hard to say.



However, in Australia, an average price for brake pads is between $50 - $150 depending on the quality and the vehicle.



There is roughly an 30 mins labour to install, but once again, depending on the car. Most mechanics in Aus charge $80 per hour.



Its possible that the rotors also needed to be machined.



I would say that it is a fair price.



If the work was done at a VW dealership and they used VW genuine parts, that price is pretty much right.
