AdamC11 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi, I'm going to be booking my car in with Ford this week for a front set of brake pads. Does anybody know the price (inc fitting)? Thank you Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I wouldn use ford the parts an labour expensive u best off buying set out a motor factors an ask an indi garage fit them ...or fit them yourself - it's pretty easy if you know one end of a spanner from the other. But either way, don't go to Ford for this! You'll pay more than double what you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark ecoboost Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was quoted £170 for new front brakes a few weeks back at the local ford garage. I agree with everyone else, go to a local garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwel Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 That's very expensive. Get the Haynes manual it's very good and do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I had my Focus saloon (1.8TDDI) for eight years and only needed to replace the brake pads once, shortly before I sold it. They were on the car when I bought it, and while I had it they covered almost 80,000 miles. So decent pads can really last for years if you aren't driving like a tool.
