has anyone got or used mintex disks and pads? if so what are they like

my oem ones need replaced soon and the price i was qouted for 2 front disks and the pads was £241.00 inc fitting which i aint paying theres no way im paying £77 per disk when i could get the whole kit for less

Putting these on mine http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390270002379 used mintex before no problems 241 seems excessive usualy get pads and discs for around 50/60

yeah i figured the price was excessive as well to say the least especially as thats only the front i was qouted for the previous owner opted for drums on the rear for some reason i reckon ill be going for the mintex then

just for the front they are havin a laugh and these places wonder why there going out of business greed the whole problem thats wrong with this country

i wont name names.......................................kwik fit ahem cough splutter

like i said on another post the other day last resort places quick flit halfrauds and main stealers rip off rip off rip off avoid like the proverbial plague

I just bought genuine rear discs and pads for the mondeo, £100 all in! where they get £277 for front discs and pads from, who knows. I think the genuine discs and pads for the front of mine are about £110, probably cheaper for yours so thats £170/£180 for fitting? :(

hope you told them to ram it

2 years ago on my Mondeo, I had my front discs and pads + timing belt and pulleys replaced by my local garage = £338. I don’t have the breakdown now of the costs but I guess £200 for the timing belt and the rest for the brakes.

and yes stef i told them to ram it. the guy actually said if i wasnt happy with the price i could speak to the manager i did and the wonder of smartphones came through, i simply went to my ebay where i had bookmarked the above and showed him the response wa we cant do the parts at that price so i told him thats strange that its £77 each per disk when i know fords oem disks are around £60 per pair not much said after that surprisingly
