A colleague at work wants to know if this is OTT price wise. He visited a local garage as opposed to a main dealer and was quoted £225 for new brake pads including wiring for his 2006 Merc C-Class.

Sounds expensive, wiring? Has he let the pads get so low he's ruined the brake pad sensor wiring? p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

From memory on the Merc the wires are embedded in the pad and replaced with pads anyway, unless later models are different?

On that basis Taz, do you think the price is ok? Bearing in mind it's a local garage not a merc dealer LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Not a straight forward job

If you can afford to drive a Merc I wouldnt have thought a few quid here or there would have been much of an obstacle myself.
Merc owners I know never ask how much its going to be, its just do it and send me the bill.
