price for timing belt and rear brake brisbane

kan

Kmart asked $600 for changing timing belt, $230 for rear brakes and $119 for normal minor service,
totally $950. Is it reasonable? My car is 98 Ford Laser 100,000 Km in Brisbane.
Any other shops recommended to do that cheaper? Tks.

Down here in Melbourne :

Timing belt: $230

Brake pads: $80

Minor service: $70

(All prices are exclude GST)

laser = mazda 323，timing belt $600 is  reasonable，这价肯定是含了人工了的。
rear brakes = pads + discs, $230 is reasonable。需要注意的是只换刹车片，包括打磨刹车碟或换碟否。同时，pads和轮胎一样，根据品牌等，价格从几十到几百都不是没有可能的，注意的是自己了解下牌子。
$119 minor service 一直是kmart的价格，不算过分。 很多连锁的mechanic 做这样基本的 service 也是100左右的。
