I'm bringing my car in for the 24,000KM (approx. 16K Miles) inspection this week. The maintenance mgr is recommending a full Brembo Brake clean-up, where according to him, they disassemble the calipers, clean, and reassemble the whole thing for $107 Canadian (approx. $85 USD). Is this required or is he trying to rip me off?

 

i wouldnt say its required or that hes trying to rip you off. Maintenance is a good thing but its not necessary =)

 

Sounds like a complete ripoff, especially with that little miles on it, and especially coming from the dealership.

 

Thanks for the input!

 

well, the brakes can slide better with a brake dust clean up. You could do it yourself. All you do is take the pads out and put a little grease where they slide so they dont stick or anything.

 

I don't have brembro's but, my dealer took mine apart cleaned them changed the pads, and the best part yet he paid for it all!

 

I wouldn't pay, have them do it for free
