Front brake pad service indicator

Hi guys,

How much does this cost from an Indy?
Ive had a quote of £95 and another for £157!!!
Latter is a rip off I know.

I asked the £95 guy what brand pads put in and he said something that sounds like ‘insects’ or he uses bosch. Now i looked and found bosch pads for £36 inc vat whixh seems very reasonable. Am I seeing that price correctly? Is £60 normal for labour???
Another guy said get pads yourself and Ill fit em for £20 - sounds the way to go so what brand closest to OEM would anyone recommend? Sorry for typos on phone.

Kind regards

Personally I would say the 95 is a ripoff.
You don't say if it is just front of all four, but a set of pads, sensor, shop supplies and labor for 95?
I would worry about the quality of parts and labor.
Over here just shop time can vary from 90-150/hr.
You'll have to do the exchange rate yourself.
