    I think we will be needing new pads front and back on our Civic (2007) at its next service (about 5 weeks).

    Honda have fixed pricing on these at £95 F & £95 R.

    Seems a bit dear to me.

    Before I go phoning all and sundry just wanted to sound it out here.

    BTW DIY isn’t an option for me on these 🙁

    Call a local quick fit sort of place for a comparison

    Find a local independent garage and call them.

    Kwick Fit £146 F&R

    At least you know the premium now
    is it worth the extra £44 for the main dealer to you?

    Pads £25-30 a set. £40 for fitting.
    Honda stealer prices seem a bit steep, but I’d say Kwik Fir are close to being reasonable prices.
    Why is DIY not an option? Warranty?

    Warranty and never done it before 😳

    Plus you should hear the howl from the discs on my MTBs 😆

    When you call the independent dealer tell them it is under warranty and ask them to quote on fitting manufacturer-recommended pads then.

    If you’re on the isle of wight I’ll do it for much cheapness. However the ferry fare may negate any savings to be had….

    Are Kwik-fit still offering free pads for as long as you own the car? Is it a keeper?

    That’s not bad if they have fancy electronic procedures and you can’t do it properly yourself. My Passat needs FEPs to change the rear, and that cost me £90 or something including the pads.
