Front
pads £164.15
Wear sensors £26.61 each
Rears £122.66
Wear sensors £8.69 each

Didn't need discs.

OPC had said labour was about £250 a corner.

Thanks - Parts don't sounds too bad - but £250 to change a set of pads is steep....

How much did your local garage charge for labour?

£95 for the lot.

Here's my recent invoice from my local OPC for new discs and pads all round for my SD, the brake warning light came on at 24000 miles.
The discs didn't look to bad but my OPC said that they needed changing.

From memory, standard time for renew front pads is around 1 - 1 1/2 hours and similar for rears so £95 for both axles sounds really cheap

Edit to say re Topdog’s invoice, £300 labour to change discs and pads all round seems about right (and the parts prices confirm ColM)

There are at least a couple of Porsche specialist garages in NI. McMillan Porsche specialists, now in Antrim did the last service on my Boxster a few years back and the OPC said they would have no problem buying and retailing it afterward. In the end, I got a bit more privately so sold it that way. He charged about half what the OPC were wanting for a major service.

Oh that's very interesting...nice to verify the parts costs. I'm coming to the opinion that OPC Cambridge is not on my side. Will have to look to Hatfield as an alternative, as Colchester is same ownership.

I'll be interested to know what Hatfield quote you as that's my local OPC and mine will be due at next service I reckon.
