Default Brake Rotor install shop reccomendation

I was quoted $270 for installation of new aftermarket rotors which I think is a bit excessive.

Anyone that had rotors replaced reccomend a reasonably priced shop around the Northern VA area?

Its just 2 bolts on the outside of the caliper (depending on Caliper (could be up to 4). Then the Rotor comes right out, and Put the new one in, and then put the 2-4 bolts back in. Then Waaaalaaa, your done! Just keep the brake line in so you don't have to bleed it. Shouldn't take any more then 45 min's, maybe an hour if you have no Idea what your doing.

I charge people 40 bucks with new pads also. I have a lift and use air and correct rotor punch tools and clean the calipers. That price is just stupid.
I will be at the shop tomorrow wrenching me jeep if you want.

Great..thanks for the offer.

The body shop price quote pissed me off. Must be that so called "vette tax"

Once the car is out the body shop I'll shoot you a PM and stop by on a weekend.

Can you adjust the air gun to the exact TQ specs? 100 lbs on the lugs and 125 on the caliber brackets
