G'day everyone.

I have a 2011 C30 R-Design which is my first VOLVO after moving from a series of Toyota Celica and RAV4 cars.

I do love the C30 but time has come to change the brake pads and possibly the discs and the prices I am hearing seem a tad high.

What should I expect a fair price to be for a Front and rear pad change and if need be, the discs as well?

I have spoken to a couple of VOLVO main dealers and prices have varied quite considerably. If front and rear pads/discs were done the top price quote was nearly £1000 and the lowest just over £700.

Or... Would I save by going to a trusted independent garage and having them order in VOLVO genuine parts or aftermarket ones?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Happy motoring.

Gordy.
