    But you claim to be an accountant too.

    A mechanic might have some idea of the costs to run a business, an accountant should.

    So lets see if I have this right. First you were a mechanic, then you became an accountant and finally you qualified as an internet troll.

    Well done, you have 4 pages out of it so far and I would guess its not over yet.

    Here we go again:D

    I have proved my point and provided a link

    Can we please just address the OP

    Just one thing to notice on the eBay ads above, is that it does not state the manufacturer of the discs, only the pads.

    So they may not even be Mintex

    Just to set the record straight, €400 was for the pads and discs to be replaced on all four wheels.

    The garage in question is not a main dealer.

    Many thanks for all your advice lads - I'm really sorry the thread has degenerated into a squabblefest.

    I got this job done about 15K miles ago on a 323ci
    Cost €225. Screeched like a banshee, even after bringing it back to Advance where they "applied grease". They were screeching within 50 miles.
    I put up with it until they started to grind and replaced the pads with a back street guy during a service. "Gimme the best you can get".

    No problems since. I've done about 1000 miles on them. I don't have a parts cost but I'd say €300 would have seen the job done properly in the first place.

    Read the post again. Take your time, digest the information and concentrate on the bit about replacing the pads.
