Hi I have a 15 year old VW Golf and need to change the disc brakes can anyone recommend any cheap mechanic in Zurich or is anyone on this forum a mechanic and can do the job for a reasonable rate?

Discs and pads is really not a major job. Actually better to do together.
Used to have a carbon tubbed F3 car so not mechanically inept. Did the job on a few road cars too.

You shoud buy the parts yourself. Get a Haynes manual and do the job yourself.

I know it is Toyota but the technology / methodology is exactly the same. If having looked at it and you don't like, go spend 200chf on labour and a mark up on the parts.
