I replaced the front pads myself after 25,000 miles (was 2 years ago), it cost me under $200, including all the necessary tools and original Volvo pads.
Wagner OEX. It's built on a galvanized steel backing plate so it doesn't rust like the painted ones. It also uses a mechanical attachment system to hold the friction material instead of glue, so it won't crack/detach like the cheap pads.
They let me use multiple coupons at once (all expired and all say that you can only do 1 discount).
For the account info:
The service tech checked my account and confirmed that only my contact information is on my account and printed it out for me. Then the other tech asked if he checked the scheduler? And they found the ex's contact information on the scheduler. He updated the information on the scheduler and then they both logged in on different computers to check, including scheduling an appointment for me to confirm that only my contact info is on there. Then the other tech checked again and confirmed that it was correct on his computer.
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
Last year on my 2013 I put on Wagner QS pads and Centric rotors, so far so good.
My favorite is Wagner OEX pads. They're build on galvanized steel and the friction material is mechanically attached instead of glued on.
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.
Last time it went for a service I was advised rear brake pads are 90% worn and needed changing (they had fitted new rear brake pads 8 months previously).
