Brake job quote . Is it excessive ?

[Ron Burgundy]

Yeah, I thought so.
I will go elsewhere
The quote does not even include bleeding the brake fluid.
Labour and bolts only = $700
No thanks

The guy’s likely factoring-in the costs he’s had in the past due to muppets supplying the wrong parts & having to put all the original parts back together when he tries to install the new stuff & it doesn’t fit.

I paid $350 Labour to have 4 discs and pads fitted which I supplied on my 've about three months ago.

overheads, profit, contingency

I found correct caliper bolts on ebay from Holden dealership store and they will cost about $100 with postage.
I don't get why they would quote more than double that for bolts only...
That's just unfair...
Will get the bolts myself and go to a local guy

For those interested these are part numbers and prices after checking with the dealer

Rear 92172963 - $8 each
Front 92139222 - $12.80 each

So this adds up to about $80 retail for all caliper bolts...
Far from $220 quoted by the workshop...

Interesting... Holden changed the front caliber bolts from the VE to the VF

Wonder what the difference is

Thanks for the update Ron

My front caliper bolts are for Mando (police spec) calipers but I assume they should be the same for PBR front calipers...

Could be a lot worse, Ron...
Imagine how much if they were being sold by ARP.....

Chances are you would only have to pay for them once and safely reuse them.
