Yesterday I took my 8 to the dealer for a oil change and a tranny flush. the dealer calls me back and says im going to need new brakes pretty soon. i ask him how much will it cost he tells me 229$ for front and 229$...i really dont know if this would be a right price. so i decided to look for brakes online and this is what i found.
I would think the quote was for labour and new pads...you probably don't need new rotors yet...Might just want to put in a set of new pads of your choice instead....
Should be OK at about $150 for all 4 corners for street pads
Brake jobs are notoriously expensive at dealerships. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, just do some searching on the internet and make some calls at some local shops. I'm sure you'll find someone that will do for much less than the dealership. Also, stay away from those shops that specialize in brake jobs. They have been known for shady business practices....at least the ones my area!
thx for the advice, my fathers buddy does brake job on the rest of our cars, my sis 2003 vw golf my father 2003 jeep liberty sport and our honda pilot. hes been doing it for the past 3 years. i think im just going to tell my father to give him a call. but since im getting new brakes i want to get slotted/drilled ones are the ones above any good?
