ok, i think it means standard labour costs for checking everything ?
Total work proposed ;
Filter assy oil,
element assy air-cleaner,
castrol magnatec
and i think both rear both pads and both rear discs...
maybe you mean the main service / minor service specified on the manufacturers service handbook.
I just get my mechanic to do a full service with MOT every year, costs around £230 from memory
I think I paid around the price Mottie said, for a set of new discs and pads - would have to check the invoice to be sure though.
£400 perhaps

what was your mileage?
I replaced the front discs and pads on my sisters Fiesta today. 50,000 miles on the clock. I paid £100 for the parts. Another £35 for the oil and filter as I gave it a service. The fuel light came on within 5 minutes of picking it up so I put £20 of petrol in it. Oh, and I repaired a puncture. I charged her £155. She's going to pay me when she gets back from Barbados! Bloody family.

mine is a really old Mk4 titanium TDCI 2007 146k miles.
I use a mobile mechanic, he does a fantastic job and quite reasonable
Family rates: even worse than mates ratesI replaced the front discs and pads on my sisters Fiesta today. I paid £100 for the parts. Another £35 for the oil and filter as I gave it a service.

I can’t believe you even had to put some fuel in it.
I spent years only refuelling when the warning light came on, now I fill up weekly and almost never go below half a tank.
A mate of mine, a carpenter justs puts £30 in at a time……….. I just can’t see the point.
To be fair, the low fuel light came on and the needle wasn’t actually in the red, getting close but not in it but I didn’t want to take a chance.
We usually let ours get quite low through laziness - not normally low enough for the light to come on although we have been caught out a few times and the light comes on with 50 miles to go which puts mrs Mottie into a blind panic. We always fill them right up. Mrs Motties sister must be related to your carpenter mate as she always puts £30 in at a time too. They do reckon you get better fuel economy by not lugging a full tank of fuel around all the time but I couldn’t be arsed with frequent top ups.

Id be concerned about the 1 new brake pad!
Anywhere from £300 to £600 depending on the garage.

It's a good job he only needs one and not four.

Too True! still owed for the materials (2 sheets of Birch Ply £XX!!)
I can - bloody kids, every time I get asked to do something for one of them their vehicle needs fuel!
I've always had to be ready to drive distances at short notice. For half my career I was on call and would have to drive anything up to 100 miles. Then I moved to a new job and had to be ready to go to family at short notice. Wife never lets the cars get below 2/3 full (unless I'm with her on a long journey).
As for keeping a low tank (£30 top ups) in the end the tank is likely to rust out.
About the only benefit is for town drivers who are concerned about getting fuel stolen from the vehicle.
