i have a Ford Galaxy ( 07 ) diesel and i have got a grinding noise from the back right wheel.....i am just trying to find out how much the garage should charge me tomorrow for this?
Any ideas?How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?I don't think they have drums I think they have discs.
I would charge about 120 for rear back discs and pads but as the car is so new and the grinding is only coming from one wheel then it could be okay to just change the disc on that wheel (probably bring the bill down to 100).
This is just an estimate as it depends on the price of the parts.
At a garage you are probably looking about 170 - 200.
Email for more details if necessary.
EDIT:
gav552001 - It is not always necessary to change in axle pairs as you are taught in main dealers. Upon inspection, If the good brake rotor is okay (not wore down too much %26amp; smooth) then why change it? People also have there discs reground sometimes on a machine to make it right and save money.
When I say that they would be okay to get one changed, I don't mean that, I mean after inspection.How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?500 but idkHow much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?phone around 3 or 4 garages to get an average figure of cost. Alternatively call or go into your local accessory shop and ask them how much the drum brakes will cost, from this you can work out each mechanics labour costs.How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?If the noise is constant it might be a wheel bearing rather than brakes.
Autodata lists rear brake pads and discs at 1hr 50 minutes labour.
Rear Discs are about 27 Pads are 12 without sensors and 16 with.
Hope this helps.How much will i be to get my rear brakes ( Pads and Drums ) changed?Hi there please ignore the one who suggests changing only one side any mechanic/technician knows that with safety critical items such as brakes, steering and suspension you change them in axle pairs, anything else is asking for trouble, as for your noise then it could be a bearing but i wouldn't expect it on an 07 plate unless the mileage is very high, as for the cost that depends on if its manufacturers parts or pattern parts such as mintex or first line and also depends upon the garage you use, im afraid that you will have to ring around but please avoid the fast fit merchants, also again check they have replaced them as a pair by asking to see the originals
Hope that helps
