Fair price?

[Paul.]

So my 2007 3.4s is needing some TLC.  I was quoted the following on todays shopping list.  This is from a specialist in Scotland.

Front brake discs, pads, wear sensors - £349

Rear brake discs, pads, wear sensors - £329

Minor service - £199

Spark plugs - £115

Brake fluid change - £69

Total = £1273.00 including VAT.

Do you think that seems reasonable for the Porsche?

I'd say that sounds about the going rate. 

[Boxstercol]

Sounds fairly reasonable to me.

Brakes are fairly easy to do yourself if you're competent with the spanners. Euro Car Parts for the parts & always some discount code available (lately its been 30%).

[Paul.]

Thanks!  Looks like the parts on eurocarparts come to around £330.  I think i have done that correctly.  Brake discs all round and pads all round.  

I am not handy with cars at all but i have a friend who could fit these.

 

Hope the basket is correct or i will be short of parts ?

Yes, that's a pretty good price - I've never paid as little as that.

Might want to check carparts4less. Essentially ECP with discount already applied but they have additional discounts for spending over £50, £75 and £100.

That price looks to be in line with what I've paid in the past.
