We’ve been charged 280 each for front/rear break pads and 560 for front disc rotor only. I know they overly charged us by not sure how much, need assistance please!

 

You, as they say.....got "hosed". Damn!!!

 

Depends on the pads, but generally speaking, if you have a Type S, brake pads are about $51.49 for the fronts for Duralast Gold Ceramics, and $34.99 for the rears for the same brand. If you throw in Duralast Gold Rotors, and you're looking at $71.99 each for the fronts. That subtotals to $233.46 ($16.34 in taxes) and totals to $249.80 (assuming 7% tax) in parts alone for decent quality parts from Autozone. You paid $1,120, so yes, you overpaid by $760.20, assuming 1hr of labor at $110/hr.

Take this as a learning lesson and get the parts and change them yourself next time, safely.

 

ugh thanks for this info, literally crying for my mom, what’s f*cked about it, the person who did was a family friend

 

Some people steal, some people set up fake virus testing sites, and some people do $1k brake jobs. What a time to be alive.

 

Learn?

Yes.

 

He/She probably didn't even grease and use new shims

 

lifetime warranty included right?

 

DIY is your friend

 

$1k brake job? where can I sign up lol.

 

i atleast hope they supplied all o.e.m. Honda parts

if it’s a type-s or 6m it needs the Brembo rotor along with the caliper. It’s definitely necessary IMHO.

 

If you were charged standard dealer rates and got OE parts, this doesn't seem too out of line. Still pricey as a all hell, but doesn't seem to be too out of the expected price range. Especially if it is a TLS as HVAC34 calls out...actual OE parts for the Brembos are not cheap at all. Can it be done cheaper? Obviously it can be. Really depends on what parts you want to use and if you want to do it yourself or not. I paid $300 for the dealer to turn my rear rotors and replace the pads. Pricey, but at the time, I did not have the free time to do it myself.

The real question is if you were expecting a discount or just quality work out of the family friend?

 

It was a family friend. I bet you they went to autozone and got $35 pad and $40 rotors. It's a recession, they cleared probably $800 on that job
