I had the front discs & pads replaced on my E350CDI a couple of months ago at my local friendly garage.
I paid £240 which I thought was an excellent price.

How do you rate MB Motors? It's fast approaching the time when I come across a job I am too old or not skilled enough to take on (gearbox service in 5000 miles comes to mind) and will need a trusted indy near to plymouth.

paid about 220 from my indy on my W220 for the same, using genuine parts, so yes a good price.
