hey guys, so i bought new brake pads and rotors for front and rear. i was wondering what price for labor to install them is legit. i called around LA and got quotes about 120. does that sound right? thanks.

 

I got mine installed at a local shop for 60bux.

 

Brakes are one of the easier things to work on if you have some mechanical ability you can DIY and save yourself the cash. Here's a link to help you out, its much more gratifing than paying someone to do it.

I payed $500 for good new pads and rotors. The dealer wanted $1400 what a rip off...

 

They are really easy to swap out. Just take ur time.

 

I paid around $500 for Stoptech rotors and Hawk Performance Brake Pads; took it to my local nissan dealership and they installed it for $300 (however this was in Alabama). Just call and ask around

 

it seems easy enough, but i've never swapped out brakes or rotors myself. seeing how important they are it's really not something i'm comfortable doing haha.

 

grab one of your buddies who have done it before and they can walk you through it...its really not that difficult....take your time not to strip the bolts and you will be fine....

 

essentially those steps from that link displayed above will still work for an 03 g35 with brembo's correct?

I know a 350 and G's are ideally the same car. I just wanted to make sure seeing as I'm installing two new front rotors and pads this weekend.

Any help on this would be fantastic!

thanks,

 

If you pay me, i'll do it lol

 

well i had mine done at the dealers through a friend. had my e-brake, rear rotors and rear pads replaced for $400

 

Oh dude I'm actually going to replace my brake pads soon too.

Want to get together at a garage and change our brake pads together? it'll be my first time too, and I have a jack and jackstands.

I know the basics but I'm still going to have my laptop next to my side when I'm changing pads+rotors.

PM if you're interested

 

aw man i woulda totally taken you up on that offer if it was a week ago! i ended up bringing it to a nissan dealership to do it last week for about 120.

 

nissan only charged you $120 for labor? that's a GREAT deal..
i wouldn't fix your brakes for $120 of my time.

 

$0 - diy

EDIT: Just saw you had this done at a dealership, you easily could have done this yourself.
