How much does a brake repair cost?
The cost is made up of labour and parts, and both depend on the make, size and condition of the vehicle.
1. Labour
We use HaynesPro standard manufacturer labour times. That way you get a fair, transparent time estimate that is easy to compare between workshops.
2. Parts
We use only quality parts, and import much of our stock directly from trusted German suppliers in partnership with Vélaland. Importing directly means lower prices with no compromise on quality.
