Brake pads and discs

[CBT]

Have been quoted £320 for full replacement at local garage
Have heard kwikfit do a lifetime guarantee
Has anyone used kwikfit for this and if so are they alot more expensive than local garages and is there any catch?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I know you've said full replacement, but is that front and rear or just one?

Also what car is it?

Oh and I'd expect Kwik fit to be more expensive despite using pretty much the same parts as local garages.

We had a full all round disc replacement on our old DS4 2 years ago and that price sounds about right. That was at the Citroen garage in Cross Hills that did our servicing and MOT's etc....

Front and rear on a Hyundai i30

Just thinking if kwikfit will replace for free when next need doing (pads only I think) might be worth paying the extra

WTF are you on about with all these numbers,do your cars not have proper names like Lada or Skoda?

I used to work for KF years ago when it was still Tom Farmer owned and the kwik fit lifetime offers usually aren't that bad but they will always try to upsell, shockers, tyres, brake fluid change service Air con recharge etc etc they are also relying on you having the discs done either then or at a later date they work on the premise discs will last for 2 sets of pads then need replacing. there will probably be something that says if they recommend any other brake work eg fluid change, discs etc that will have to be done for the pads to be replaced under the lifetime warranty.

Thanks for that
Cars done 40k so imagine they'll need replacing again at 80k should still have it come then
If KF only charging £30-£40 more than local then will probably go with them if the small print isn't too demanding

I was thinking that sounds more like it going off last time I had some done but guess it depends on make and model of car
Garage I use are usually quite reasonable priced

They mentioned something about studded discs?

[Sheedyclaret]

Studded discs make no sense, but then I haven't seen the discs.

I never asked just heard him ask the mechanic who serviced the car if they were studded or not when quoting me the price

He's on about the hub then, not the brakes but no big deal

Tried to picture a disc with a stud in it and like u said didn't make much sense but trust them so didn't pay much notice
Thought it was pricey tho especially when poster above says £90 for rear

[TheOriginalLongsider]

I’ve had brakes 4 life at Halfords fir a few years Had disks replaced once fir free and pads twice. No problems. Just used a company online called ClickMechanic who came to my wife’s workplace and changed her brake pads for £79.

Oh right. ..

Think yourself lucky he's not a biker.....they have so many numbers & letters it'd make Rachel Riley's head spin!
