Rotor and Pad Install Cost at Dealership?

Getting this done this weekend. I'm supplying the Rotors and Pads, but was wondering how much this might set me back to get them installed by Acura?

Thanks!

its 80 per hour, so u will pay at the minimum 300 dollars. Dealerships know how to make money.

go to like moneiki or local shop or something, or do it yourself.

As a DIY, swapping out the pads and rotors is pretty simple and doesn't take much mechanical skills or special tools. The only tool you'll need in your arsenal would be a c-clamp which will be used to press the caliper piston so your new pads will fit. Otherwise, the entire job should take you less than 45 minutes per side; total of 3 hours give or take.
Give it a shot....it's a piece of cake.

I'm $hit up the creek when it comes to automotive tools. Otherwise I would love to do alot of this DIY.

I have no jack, I guess I could use the lug wrench that came with my spare to remove my tires.

no jack? no stands? dont do it yourself.

More than C-Clamp you will need an Impact Screwdriver, those 2 screws on each rotor can be rusted and pain to take off without some torch heat.

good luck.

Not sure why some have had difficulties taking off those screws. My cousin's car came off with regular hand tools.
