Service quote opinions / sense check - Page 4

Guys,

I’ve just called ProTwins for a quote for a service for my bike. It’s done 6,000 miles rather than the magic 7,500 and is 2 years old in September, so they are recommending doing the valve clearance check and replacement cam belt now rather than in a few months time (which will cost more then as the bike will be in bits now anyway). On top of that, I’ve obliterated my front brakes to the extent that I have started to plough into the discs, so that’s replacement pads AND discs.

The whole sorry list is:

Pads: £65
Brake clean: £65
Small service, valve check, and new cam belt: £450
Brake discs: £400

Total: ~£1000

Is that about right or am I getting a bit fleeced? Sounds like a lot of money for what I originally thought was going to be a straightforward service.
