But if you already change brakes then you probably already have the tools. I know I do

I would opt for green stuff and fit them myself, but I did notice that my dealer is charging £65 for a set of front or rear pads fitted. Seems like a good deal to me. And it wasn't too espensive for disks and pads fitted.

Other great thing with doing them yourself, at least you know that your alloys are not going to be damaged on removal or having them left lying somewhere! Or if your alloys have fused then they use whatever means to get the wheels off.
