Hahahahahahaha! The same brakes as a Porsche Carrera GT? Wow.. this guy is really taking you for a sucker. He's not even close to accurate, and his claim is downright insulting to your intelligence. Porsche Carrera GT brakes are Silicon Carbide Ceramic, and are insanely high end. You won't find OEM brakes like that on any car that costs less than $75K when new.
Even though your price quote is probably in Canadian currency, it doesn't really matter.... the US and Canadian dollars are almost 1 for 1 nowadays. You should definitely never go back to that dealership, they are completely trying to screw you.

Good thing I posted here. I feel like a chump for listening to the service guy and letting him fool me like that. Well, lesson learned I guess.
This is what it says
"REC NEED TO REPLACE ALL BREMBO BRAKE PADS, BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE SHIMS AND BRAKE FLUIT EST $3600"
seems like I dont know how to take a picture on my laptop webcam without getting a mirror image of it, but what I wrote above is what it says in the red circle.
Also, I should probably make another thread for this but I got a quote of $550 (on same page) for an "EXCHANGE UNIT" because my CD player does not work. (Cassette and radio are fine). Not sure if this is reasonable or not but it looked ok to me as I thought the OEM would run be close to $1000.
Here is the picture as promised:

Honestly speaking the dealer language. The price is not that bad. Keeping in mind when saying this "Dealer" + "Brembo". Look online how much are a set of BREMBO rotors and pads? Again not aftermarket that fits Brembo.
Would i replace them for that much? Hell no
What would i do? Buy after market ones that fit the Brembos like mentioned above
