How much for Bentley Continental pads and rotors?

bentley brakes how much
Congratulations on your new-ish Volkswagen Bentley Continental. It looks howt! Being a sensible person of taste, you don’t own the super amazing limited edition super fast model but you did wisely chose the proper twin-turbo W12 engine and not the puny, significantly less expensive, a lot more efficient, and equally fast V8. Being an automotive enthusiast and financially responsible, you were aware of the awesomeness of ceramic rotors but also their cost, so you chose the model with standard steel rotors. Another great decision!
When it comes to service, you are also aware that OEM parts are the best parts and dealer labor cost is a damn rip-off. Therefore you went to the dealer and bought a set of front rotors for $1138.42, front pads for $544.97, rear rotors, for $357.38, and rear pads, a bargain of the bunch, for only $230.30. $2271.07 to have your Phaeton Continental stop like new – another solid financial decision. Well, that doesn’t include the labor to install them, but hey, Craigslist is full of unemployable hack mechanics eager to charge you $100 or a few OxyContin pills for a day’s work.

    I have no relation how large the rotors are, all disks on my cars would fit into 14″ wheels. Is that much money, considering that the area goes by diameter square and you insist on not driving a Camry?

    Google says, in UK, genuine parts in USD, incl. VAT:
    Front disc pair $760
    Rear disc pair $251
    Rear pads: $168
    Front pads: $372
    Doesn’t look especially fancy, these parts. Should have fitted Chinese VW crap from the Pep Boys?

    For those of you not on Twitter, I called the local VW dealer to check rotor/pad prices for a Phaeton. The guy at the parts desk didn’t f’ing know what a Phaeton was.

      I asked a Ford dealer to track down a new 2014 manual Fusion for me. Repeatedly, he denied such a thing existed. I then literally stepped him through a cars.com search to find a few for him.

    I mean, I paid $163.44 for an oil change on Saturday so I’m not gonna judge.

    Heh. That dealership is about 2 miles away from my office. I’ve been seeing lots of Bentleys sitting at the trade in lot at the VW dealer around the corner. I wonder if I’ll see this guy’s car there soon…

    Yeah, there’s a ’91 Bentley Turbo R in Houston I’ve been wrestling with purely because of parts rarity and cost.
    That, and I doubt it’d make a reliable DD, though I’ve seen a few still around here in north-central Texas.
    Maybe NAPA carries parts for them when they become aged….
