im from the socal area and wondering around how much people paid for their brake pad replacement from the dealers?

 

Be more specific, front and/or rear? I have not had to do this yet, but depending on what the stealer wants to charge for just fronts I might just do them myself. I am considering changing the front rotors as well...most have gone through them pretty quickly as the miles rack up.

How many miles are you at?

 

Dealer wanted something like $200 per axle for pads and $350 if the rotors needed turning. Complete ripoff.
Do it yourself, front and rear, for under $100-

 

^ agreed, this is really easy to do, just buy a set of hawks and change them yourself.

 

Where do you get your rotors turned? Does Autozone do it?

 

Any mechanic shop will do it for around 20 bucks.

 

^and the stealers charge $350?

 

If you arent getting pulsation or vibration during braking the rotors dont need to be turned. just replace the pads... thats what i did with the fronts. EBC Red Stuff. a bit more pricey at 100 a set but i have always wanted to try them out. you can do it with simple hand tools and a C-clamp to push the piston back in place.
