Had my pads changed (Volvo service centre) at 30k ish miles, at the main dealer and the discs were fine.
What bloody manufacturer is this? For my Volvo XC60 it’s around £330 for front discs and pads main dealer
Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.
Who the hell told you the C30 is unreliable. My mechanic started his own shop after working for the big regional volvo dealership for 15 years. He told me that of all the Volvos he ever worked on the C30 stood out significantly as being the most reliable. It was built on the P2 chassis, but since it came out years after the first P2 chassis cars, it was able to have a lot of significant improvements/upgrades/fixes over the other, older P2 cars. He told me that over time the mechanics would get so frustrated whenever a C30 came in, because every single time all it would need was a basic oil change or brake pad replacement, never any major work.
Canada here: paid around $700 CAD for rear brake pads and rotors at Canadian Tire back in May for my 2008 V70.
I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.
I recently had the brakes done on my 2016 XC 60 by my long-term mechanic. It was all four corners with pads and rotors. He charged $1300 Canadian (950 USD).
stay away from mintex red box. i have them.. the stop great.. but they are the dustiest and noisest pad I have ever installed.
I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.
You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
