Ford Focus Break shoes change quote

JamJam30 · 2013-11-11 16:56:27

Hi Guys I have a 1.4 ford focus 2003 , I had noise coming from my breaks last two weeks so I went to a mechanic and he told me my break shoes should be replaced and he quoted me 95 euro. Do you think this price too high to change break shoes ? :confused:

Not really, paid €120 to get shoes done on an 06 focus about a 2 years ago (also got a new drum fitted which I supplied myself), so don't think your over paying.

Just done rear brake shoes on sons avensis
The shoes cost me 36 from local motor factors and it took me over 2hrs to fit them.

While its not a complex job it can be fiddly fitting back the springs. 95 for parts and labour is very reasonable.
