2003 Brake Replacement
I just took my car to the dealer yesterday and he told me that I need new brakes. I just got new brakes 2 months ago from the dealer for almost $300. Should I use someone to replace them cheaper or fork out the dough and go back to the dealer? i know a mechanic who could do it but I'm a little worried about using non-infiniti mechanics on my car.

2 months on a set of pads....You can't drive in traffic for 2 months and wearout the pads...that is unless you are a leftfoot braker/brake dragger. I'm in Silicon we have the worst traffic in the county and no one has complained about having to have pads done in 2 months. Watch out and try an independent shop and don't tell them what the dealer told you just have them checked for squeaking and see what they say.

Abq, I think you’re correct, there has to be a miscommunication somewhere. Either you’re right and they merely checked the brakes two months ago or as what2do suggested, they changed the fronts and are now changing the back. I just don’t see how he could wear through a new set of brakes in 2 months—unless he put 15K mi on the car in that time period and somehow I doubt that’s the case!
