    In the real world, it's more like 1hr for the fronts, and .5hrs for the rear. That's the whole job, including jacking the car up, and removing wheels, etc.
    Thanks Alex and Umainaa. Just to close off this thread. Almost all the people I have spoken to have mentioned that I am paying too much on labour and that the pads are around or over the normal price. I spoke to a local garage and they can do the pads & labour for $340 so about $100 cheaper and a lot closer. I did have a look on some local websites and I can see the price differences in the same model pads is very different. One website had the same part number at under half the price.......but as I say I have no experience in changing them myself.
