Good afternoon all,

I went to get my brakes checked out and of course they came back stating I need rear rotors, the right caliber locked up and rear brakes changed. I added up all my receipts and realized I've spent over 3k on this car alone in 2015 and even with my bringing in my own parts from AutoZone they are talking about the labor costing way more than I anticipated. I feel like they aren't being truthful. I am in need of a trustworthy mechanic to work on my 05 acura in the Baltimore area.

 

In an ideal world (No rust, not having to rebuild the caliper, or other obstacles), new rear rotors + pad change + caliper cleaning shouldn't take a shop more than 2-3 hours to complete, what is their labor charge?

Some Baltimore residents may chime in, but I'd recommend this being moved to the 3G section.

 

With me bringing in all the parts they said labor would go up from 95 an hour to 105 an hour so around 300 for labor alone.

 

Brakes are not that difficult. Why not DIY?
