My car went for it's MOT a few months back and they told me that the brake pads are worn and will need replacing soon after a certain amount mileage. So now especially with winter fast approaching i'm looking to get them done, and was just wondering if anyone knew how much it generally costs to get them done, or whether it depends on the car make/mechanics price etc?

Can't you just do it yourself?
Get to an auto repair store.. grab the brake pads for your car.. and get to work. Get you about a pint or so of brake fluid.
It will save you quite a bit of money ;P

I would, but I wouldnt have a clue what to do and it's not something im willing to mess up lol
It would be helpful if I did, because as you say it would work out tons cheaper!

When I need a brake job I take it to Honda, I'm not playing around with my brakes!
I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.

changing brake pads is easy, if you're so stumped go out and buy a haynes manual but in all honesty you really need just a friend in the know and some tools.
i'm the star in the reasonably priced car!
