Hi

does anyone know how much Skoda would charge to replace front discs and pads ? 
I know a rough price for genuine discs and pads but how much is Skodas hourly rate and how long do pads and discs cost to replace.

Mistake

A lot. A couple of years ago my dealer quoted £163 just to change the front pads so dread to think how much they would want to do discs too. There's nothing wrong with pattern discs and pads, some are probably better than factory ones, so using an independent garage would be more economical. 

I can give some info.

 

In September 2021 our local VWŠkoda Dealer quoted my wife £357.65 inc. VAT to replace the front discs and pads.

 

Even though I'm not a mechanic and I don't like VW or my wife's car and very reluctant to work on it but as the Dealership had took advantage of having such a late MoT (my fault) and charged £415.38 to replace the poor quality front dampers (shocks) (with poor quality replaces, but that's another story) I decided to do the work myself.

 

I decide to use Pagid discs and pads which have been good but wearing a bit quicker than I expected but not too bad, IIRC the discs and pads were about £80-90 (I forgot to keep the paperwork) and the job was the easiest brake change I've ever done, not that I've done many, and when later I replaced the rear discs and pads second easiest brake job I've ever done.

 

I put up threads for front and rear with tips, notes, below front then rear.
