350 for Pads, rotors and labor is kinda cheap. 350 for all that and Parts and labor to replace an MC is a steal. Somethings wrong. We charge 90$ for front brake service. We use high end raybestos pads which average 100$ a set, and High end raybestos PG+ rotors which average around 100$ each as well.
As for rotors, if your looking for a general increase in stopping performance, go for performance pads. Flat face rotors will actually provide better stopping power than cross drilled/vented rotors for everyday driving. Flat rotors have a larger surface area and hence more friction material in contact with the rotors. The word "performance" can adapt many meanings. "Performance rotors" typically will not provide better stopping for everyday driving, however they excel when it comes to heavy frequent braking, such as road racing, where rotors will heat up and brake fade can occur. For everyday driving, the slot down the middle of the pad provides sufficient gas relief for the brakes.
the $350 is for labor only i provided the rotors and the pads.
That is a joke...takes no longer than 1 hour to swap out the rotors and pads...including a 1/2 hour lunch brake.
HAHAHAH i love it. so true oh and shiano since u put it that way then an hour and 15 mins including the 30 min lunch. 15 mins to rent the tools and figure out how to do it. and the other half an hour actualy doing it.
You've gotta add in the half hour of calling the REAL brake shop and asking why this pad won't come out, then the 10 minute drive to take the car there. Then, the 2 hours waiting on the wrecker to pull the car out of the 30 foot deep ditch. Then, the 3 hours on the phone explaining to the insurance agent for the shop only to find out it doesn't cover mechanics who forget to reassemble the brake system and think that capping off the disc brakes on the front [ask Nykon about his "special" customer] is ok.
lol. that's why i love my mechanic. he's not an artard.
i did my first set of brakes in an hour and 15 min. 15 mins to drive to autozone to rent tools and drive back home. 15 mins to take everything off 30 mins to sit on my ass and eat. and 15 mins to put everything back together. litteraly. i have never know how to do brakes and i just did it. well i am a visualy learner so mabe that helped.
