2003 VY Sedan, new front brake pads + flush

[dingdong555]

Hey guys

How much should I be expecting to pay for 2 new front brake pads and a brake fluid flush?

Also, does anyone know any good places in Perth (north of river) which will do it?

So far I've been quoted $200 and $275

Just 2 pads???

[dingdong555]

Yeah, backs are fine.

[paynetrainvy]

I think he means 2 sets (4 pads total)

I just had my VY brake fluid replaced, it cost me $53. the actual labour charge was around $30 to $40. With the brake pads it depends on what type of pads will be fitted. For example genuine or Bendix Ultimate are a lot more expensive than budget brands from Super Cheap, fitting them does not take very long.
So to answer your question if there using cheap pads in the say $30 range $275.00 seems a bit expensive to me.

From the receipt from my 210,000km service:

Holden front brake pads $118.65
Machine front brake disc rotors $70
Brake fluid $5

Plus labour.

Gibbons Holden Wanted just over $800 for my wifes front disk and pads changed on her vy exec wagon,

Most Holden Dealers are a rip off. I was quoted $350 to $400 for a service that cost me $90 in parts and by the service booklet allows 1.5 hours! And it's probably done by an apprentice on $15 an hour. My car had just had a Holden service before I bought it and new brake pads, machined discs. The discs were all over the shop thickness wise and one was just under minimum.
