So you have the pads and sensors on hand? Not keen to fit them yourself? It's not a difficult task, although you must take care as it IS brakes! Hard to screw it up but some folk seem to manage it though... 
In this part of the world, (and esp. in Aussie) mechanics are very reluctant to fit parts they do not supply themselves. |
Noope too scared to attempt it alas....
For sure from their point of view I get it, but I had the parts, got brembo wear sensor and if I recall the pads are bendix or textar.... brought them over in cargo luggage when i was in the uk on a break....at end of the day no cheaper than if i had let mechanic order parts as am pretty sure the profit he loses by me bringing parts (that as a garage he gets at cheaper price) he will charge me extra in labour...this is what happened with the cast manifold i ordered it was cheap as chips from ebay and the cost to fit was I am sure higher than he would have charge had i bought part from him if you see what I mean ...anyhow they found me slot tomorrow a.m and thankfully garage in 10mins min walk from work
