Hello all.
Wife's car (ford fiesta mk3) due to be booked in at AA service centre for brake service.
She needs new pads discs and braking fluid.
The parts they will be using are by a company called powertrain (i think).
What are there parts like in quality and service life as they sound cheap?
The price i was quoted was in the region of £150.
All ideas welcome.

Powertrain components are fine, don't worry. Price sounds a bit high, I would reckon just over £100 would be fair for this work. Maybe you should get a few more quotes. It is normal for the Fiesta to need new pads and discs at around 20,000 miles, sounds a bit excessive but all cars have their own little pecadillos.

Fiesta discs are approx £10:00 each, pads £12:00, fluid £4:00 total £36:00 plus 1 hour's £50:00 = £86:00 I think £100:00 is a reasonable charge not £150:00 try a little back street garage most are capable of fitting brakes to a reasonable standard !
