1300 dollar brake job??!!!

[Morbid]

It might cost that much if they buy all the parts from the dealer


and it most probably isn't actually 90% parts

[Frag]

Is it done already? If not order parts, take it to them and they should do it for 130 bucks if my math is right. Besides if the brakes are fine it should give you enough time to get your shit together.

So my dad just called me and told me that he took the 750iL they took over the loan from me into the shop for brakes. They use a HIGHLY recommended indy shop for everything, and have been pleased with everything they've done to it thus far, however today he got a quote for 1300 dollars for pads and rotors on all 4 corners and that it was 90 percent parts cost not labor.

That can't be right. I hadn't had a chance to check brake stuff while the car was in my possession since they were fine, but a quick look at Autohaus shows that it shouldn't cost more than 400 bucks for OE improved parts. It's disc brakes, so it's not like they are that ridiculous to do, especially not for a well equipped shop with experienced techs. The high performance stuff for my old Trans Am only even ran me 600 bucks for all 4 corners and so there's no way this is right.

Any input? Thanks.
