I'm just wondering dose the price seem fair?

Too steep mate

I would not have expected replacing the pads to cost more than replacing the shockers, or is it just one shocker?

It all depends what make and model of car it is.

Perhaps shockers would be replaced as a pair, in which case it looks cheap; brake pads looks expensive, so too does flexi-brake pipes, but that would depend on model and make.

Dealerships using genuine parts will always cost more.

Seems like a fair enough price for the job at BMW.

NO! Pads are £5 lol So they take £72 to fit them !!! When I was younger I had a garage and lost everything for ripping people off. Even I didn’t charge anything like that!!

Definitely. If that is at the dealership, it seems quite cheap.

It could be done cheaper and to same standard by a good mechanic though, I suppose it depends on whether the OP wants the dealership stamps. Personally, once the original warranty is up, I think it makes little difference to the resale value, unless upgrading at the dealership.

A fiver for brake pads? Would you mind showing me where you can get them for that price? When I changed them on my motorcycle buying direct from etc they cost me 15 quid a pair. 3 pairs (2 calipers front, 1 back) =45 quid. Car pads are bigger, so cost more. I think you're talking out your arse.

This is more realistic and this is for pattern parts not genuine http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/BMW_1+Series_118_2.0_2004/p/Car-Parts/Service-Parts/Regular-Service/Brake-Pads
