CLK Front Discs - Pad & fitting Costs

[hendern88]

Hi there, I've been quoted £290 to replace the front discs and pad on my CLK 350 Sport W209) with Jurid discs and pads by a local indie.

I've noticed I can get the discs for about £70 each and pads would bring this to less than £200. Do you feel say £90 is reasonable for labour..seems a lot of say 30min a wheel...£90/hr?

many thanks,

Not an unfair price I can get discs/pads for my C class for £130 but MB want £395 fitted! I will either do it myself or get my local garage to fit my supplied parts.

If you dont fancy paying £90 labourfit them youself, you can then clean the wheels while their off and paint the calipers etc!!!!

Fair comment....was just checking....used to do all my own work when I had m/bikes but always a little happier with a car the kids sometimes go in to get the pros involved.

I think I paid less than £200 for discs and pads on mine? (Fitted inc VAT)
Shop around

yea the parts should be cheaper than 200. Try ATE/Textar from ECP..you can message ECP (member here) so they can give you parts at discounted rate of full 25% off.

Guys, does anyone know who is the manufacturer of original Mercedes discs and pads?

It was ATE before for all brake components but could be wrong.

Jurid, Textar, Brembo, ATE, Pagid, etc

My indie just fitted a new set of Pagid discs and pads to my W203 sport pack (cross drilled brakes with aluminium calipers). If you price them up on carparts4less the discs are £42 each plus £40 for pads. You get £15 discount for orders over £100. Very impressed with the quality and they are just as good as the MB ones I went for last time.

These can be a pig to fit as the pins holding the pads corrode with the aluminium and can be extremely difficult to remove. Previous pad / disc changes have always been challenging but this time the pins had to be cut off and new ones fitted. This is not really a job you want to be doing at home!
