Halfrauds prices......... Really ???

[chardy]

Asked the wife to pop into halfords while on school run to price up rear brake shoes for my '98 1.7

He asked if it had ABS, then quoted £44 and said they were special order !!!!

I know she's blonde but really ??? £44 !!!

Someone please confirm that he's trying it on.

Rich.

Ford Rear Brake Shoes Ref: MFR453
FORD PUMA REAR BRAKE SHOES
Set of 4 Mintex Brake Shoes sizes:-
Length 180mm, Width 32mm
Price: £11.80 (£13.87 Including VAT at 17.5%)

I'd say nearer £15-£20 would be the norm.

£19.08 + £3.99 Postage for Ford shoes, and that's saving 25% of Retail Price:

Thanks all, was shocked by the 1st response, thought I could convert to discs at that price. £20 or less much better for my wallet. Thanks again.
