I've posted in the past about all the times I brought my car into Montclair Acura, in NJ because my brakes were always squeaking. This past weekend I heard another really loud grinding noise from the driver's side rear of my car. I right away knew it was my rotors being grinded by the worn brake pads. I decided to bring my car into Park Ave Acura, to see what they would find. I just received a call from the service department. Check this out. They told me that both my rear brake pads were completely worn out and also, that my rear rotors need to be resurfaced. My front brake pads have maybe 20% left, so they need to be changed shortly. Both my front tires are worn out on the inside, so I need two new front tires.

They quoted me $260 parts and labor for the rear brakes. $260 parts and labor for the front brakes. I don't even want to know what they want for two tires and labor.

What a ripoff!!!

What I'm going to do first is bitch and moan to Montclair Acura, for not catching any of this earlier, since I've brought my car into them about 3 times the past 6 months for the brake noise.

What does everyone think? Do you guys think they'll actually do something for me, cause if not then I'm gonna do everything myself.

I'm not sure how they'll respond to you, but changing the brakes on the '99 is pretty easy. You shouldn't have much problem doing it yourself. Good luck!
