Brakes of Ebay or Garage?

KalaMonkey · 12-06-2019, 07:28 AM

Hi,

I have a 2014 F30 335D and need to replace the front pads and discs. I rang BMW a couple of BMW dealerships and was quoted between £700 and £730 for the job.
I've also rung a few independent garages and managed to get quotes as low as £406 fitted inc VAT.
A colleague at work suggested eBay and I found

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-AND...EAAOSwZNtcBnPA

A local garage has said that they'll fit all pads and discs for £130, so assuming my maths is correct I could do all my breaks for £375.
This seems to good to be true and I was wondering if I should just stick to getting the front breaks done?

Thanks.

Even those EBay prices seem high. I get my parts from https://www.rockauto.com/. I can't say if there's a similar source in the UK but that's what Google is for.
