How long would it take to change the front pads and rear shoes on all four wheels on a Rover 25.

Any idea of the labour charges to complete job.


Best regards

Depends who does it and what they find seized leaking or worn whilst in there or otherwise corroded or perished with the rest of the system.

Anything from 2 hours for a simple replacement/clean up lube etc, or up to a few days (up to 4 hours labour if worse case, hopefully not) whilst any discs, slave cyls, repair kits, pipes flexible/corroded, fitting kits, return springs etc needed are sourced.

If it hasn't been done before in reasonable timescale, worth getting the fluid changed at the same time, especially if the hydraulic have to be disturbed, its a 14 year old car so depending on the quality of its previous maintenance it might need a few bits more than just the pads and shoes.

I had discs and pads changed on all four wheels of my B class last week. From dropping the car off to them calling to say it was done was three hours and this included a wash and vac out.

They had to do some work on the wear depth indicator wires, but this was the only extra issue they had to sort out.
