At first I thought it was high but if I divide each figure by 2 thats $32.50 per front at say $75/hour is 25 mins/brake which is about right. The rear wheel has the parking brake so is more complicated. The parts look a bit high but that's because they are "factory" parts. You could check your local Schuk's or equivalent autoparts store next time your out but remember the workshop will mark them up. As it's a Ford Dealer they will have published times for all jobs so ask what the Ford approved time is for the work. Ask what their labour rates are and ...... Shop charge not sure, could be for all the misc. pins, washers etc the used when they replaced the pads or grease for the parking brake. Whatever. 12.35/4 is only $3 a wheel!

Overaul I thinks it's par for the course.
