Wiper Blade and Rear Brake Pad Costs

[R36 Dreamer]

Hey,

have the car in being serviced. Needs new rear brake pads and wipers (x3).

Quoted $300 fitted for the pads and $140 Fitted for the Wipers.

Is this reasonable for VW? I know I could get it cheaper using non genuine parts and non VW service, but just wonder whether this is in the ballpark when getting serviced @ a dealer.

Cheers

It doesnt sound too bad. Im not sure how much the brakes are, i do my own brakes on my cars. I got front wiper blades for my golf and they were about $60 (fronts only). Supercheap sells them too for about the same money but they are the worst blade you can get.
so i dont think that the price is unreasonable
