Been quoted £310 to do the suspension links and new discs and pads on an 08 Punto Grande (non franchise repairer) - how competitive does this sound?

If the rest of the car is worth it, then the repair is worth it if you get another year out of it. Get it mot'd at the same time (or before) to know what is essential to fix.

How many discs? 2 or 4?

This depends on the parts been fitted

Pagid front discs & pads, with 2 anti roll bar links (assuming these are the part) would cost about £110 from ECP

Probably at least 1 hour to 1.5 hour to give both sides a good strip down and clean up, the links are quick and easy to replace at the same time

So say labour costs at £45 per hour , realistic estimate for me would be between £150 to £200

Genuine fiat parts would cost a lot more and a fiat specialist would charge higher labour rates

Easy jobs to do DIY if you are confident with a minimal tool kit and there would be lots of associated videos to help on youtube

Thanks all. It's 2 discs.

Looks like I need another quote or two. The car is good overall so OK to spend some money on.
