Cost for Brake Job
How much does it cost to change 4 rotors + Front and Rear Break Pads including tax parts and labour assuming I need pads, rotors, brake repair kit and calipper check?
Local midas in Toronto estimated me at $700!
Any suggestions?

I've always heard that once you change your rotors you would want to change your pads too!
my buddy just got his front (new)rotors+labour for $120 and his pads for $70
i wouldn't spend more than $500 all around. give me a shout if you want to try my mech. out, he's in mississauga(dixie+401)

I got my fronts done for free last time! (new pads and resurface the rotors)
It was a professional courtesy - I did one of his personal vehicle trannys for him for free because he sends me a lot of work.
Well over 10k miles and no sign of warping. They used Wagner pads - I highly recommend them!

Changing your brake pads and rotors is not that difficult. Like someone mentioned, there are very nice DIY (look for Austin519's DIY on the other site). I was able to do it and I am not that mechanically inclined.
