deeveus 81 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 What should I be paying for an inspection? I remember my Audi S4 was about 200 for the inspection at the dealership. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I thought they were cheaper to maintain than a Corolla and running costs are minimal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That must be right then... because everyone that rings me or drives in and blocks my doorway thinks the same. They also think I carry everything in stock and I'll do "it now" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 Get the chassis # and price front & rear disc rotors and disc pads + labour + Gst. Pads & rotors need changing everytime together most of the time. Cost a 40k, 60k, 80k & 120k service as well and make sure they price the complete mileage/ time costs for the service against the chassis # Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cost a 40k, 60k, 80k & 120k service as well and make sure they price the complete mileage/ time costs for the service against the chassis # Rear brakes (pads and rotor) including installation is about $2k for my 911. Will be around half of that if I source the parts from the UK or USA, and get Powerhaus to do the work. FYI, Porsche dealer charges $120+GST, Powerhaus $85(?) + GST. Point is, source your parts o'seas, and get a good indy to do the work for you. I heard good things about Autothority in Chch, lots of PCNZ members using them.

My E60 needed new disks and pads, I purchased them for half the price of the BMW Dealership on Ebay. I can't imagine you getting any change from 3k otherwise. These are all things I'll ask the owner when they were done last. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
