brake replacement cost

Re: brake replacement cost
The shop has set prices on labor for any given job. The $200 price for pads and labor is going to be about right for having them put it in and supply your pads. If it's a cool shop, you can try to sweet talk them into lowering the price, but if you've already paid for it, I don't think they'll change it. Next time, buy your own pads and do it yourself or get that guy that offered a price of $50 to do it for you. Brake pad replacement is easy. You would save a lot of money if you learn to do at least the simple maintenance on your car like brake pads, rotors, oil, coolant, plugs, and stuff like that. Good luck.

i am sorry, i don't think i mentioned this... but i meant 4 wheel not 4 pads... i believe each wheel uses 2 pads? so total 8 pads for both front and rear wheels. does that still sound too much still?

good deals are everywhere, you just have to know what you're looking for.

Re: brake replacement cost
Are there any disadvantages to ceramic brake pads?
And yes, brake pads are not all that difficult. I wouldn't exactly call it "easy" to someone who's probably never done anything more to his car than top off the antifreeze, but it really isn't hard at all, not compared to a lot of other repairs. Especially not if you have a repair guide to work from.
