Is this a good deal for new brakes?
Took my car in for service today from the dealer. Balaced my tires, & oil change. They did mention that I need new brakes bad, I have 3 millimeters left on the pads in the rear. I wasnt sure how bad the brakes were because recently bought this SS. He did mention that I change them ASAP or theyll start digging in my rotors. Anyways, the quote he gave me was $598 for all 4. Is that a pretty reasonable price? He did say the were GM high performance pads.
It does seem I can buy the pads cheaper online. I was thinking about going that route, & just having them installed. Any recommendations? Thanks! |

easy job on these cars, no bearings to repack, always will do it myself.
if you are mechanical at all, should be able to do it for the cost of pads. unless the rotors need turning. |

actually by dealer standards its a fair price. remember the price of pads from the dealer are near 100 per set.. 100+ per hour labor balance is 15 a tire avg and an oil change is like 30 bucks

How many miles should we expect from our brake pads? I know it depends on driving style, but on average, how long?

You can search for brake pads at Summit Racing.
They range from $68 to $350 for a pair. Just depends on what you want and need. This forum has a great amount of information but also a lot of BS Just look at the responses that you got previous to mine. Totally worthless |
