$364

Dealer quoted me $364 to resurface my calipers and change my brake pads and change my brake and steering wheel fluid.

cant you buy brand new rotors for cheaper? check the Group buy forum, Excelerate is selling Rotora rotors or something of that sort.. for 100 something.

Try purchasing the brakes separately. I ran into this issue over the last year and when I got a quote to get the brake pads installed, when I had them on hand, it was a lot cheaper. Also when they replace brakes they are supposed to resurface the rotors as part of the brake install.

SOunds like a sweet price to me... I just spent $440 to replace brake pads and rotors... Oh, did I mention I supplied my own rotors? SOunds like you are saving $80 and getting the resurface done for free!!!!

You had to have been given a bottle of KY with that price..if not, go back and complain. Thats an AWFULLY high price to replace some brake pads and your own rotors.

actually i think is a VERY nice price...unless you can do the breaks yourself, $364 to resurface, new pads and brake + p/s fluid flush is a VERY nice deal

i put new slottled rotors (respectable brand) and pads for $240

I WAS RAPED!!!!!!!!!
Well I let it get worse and the pads wore down then I had to hit my breaks hard and next thing you know its metal to metal. The padless brakes ate into the Rotor. but this is the first big thing I have ever had to pay for so
Ended up paying $493
