So mum drives a 2003 Nissan pulsar, n14 I think.

The new mechanic round the corner wants $250 for spark plug change and $400 for front brakes, which I hope is pads and rotors for that price.

I've only worked on old hiaces, spark plugs were $6ea, front pads were about $40 and rotors were $60ish. That totals about $125, double it for modern price gouging to $250, that leaves $400 for labor, which seems high to me.

Whaddya reckon?

It's defo a 2003, might be an n15. Thanks for the info. Seems like the price is reasonable. Also like computers, if I start fixing things I'll probably never get to stop. My old hiace parts are cheap as and there's no computer to have a sook about things.
