No ... as another poster suggested, it's front pads AND rotors, but still a
ripoff.

Ok, so thats £30 for pads, £50 for rotors (which is frankly
ridiculous at 20k) and 1 hour's work (going slowly and stopping
for 2 beer breaks).

OK. You're on ... you can come across the pond to Boston and do the work
....
but do you realize that your rate just dropped from $1,100 US to $480 per
hour ...
think you can afford it? (But I will supply both beers)

Oh, BTW, I think you have to already own a SAAB dealership to have the balls
to charge that!
"low range of normal" My ass!

According to my independent Saab shop (Saabtech, Chicago), you
should get at least two sets (and usually three) of pads per rotor
replacement.

IME more like 4-5, but yes, there's absolutely no reason
whatsoever to replace rotors at the same time as pads - except
to make more profit.
