Sounds like you need to get your lazy ass out on your driveway with some tools, something to drink, a repair manual, and a friend (if you have any that want to help) and do the labor yourself. You can get all the parts for about half the price the shop will charge for parts and labor if you shop around. And it's really not that hard to change rotors and pads.
it's not that... i mean i usually do all the work on my car myself. this just seems like too big of a brake job for me to do with no experiance, and i'd rather have it done right...if anything i would do the pads and rotors thats easy but the rotors need to be pressed which i would need a shop for. plus they are gonna be doing a brake system flush which i can't do... and dont' start telling me to bleed the brakes cause that won't work. furthermore, i know the guy and i know his prices and his labor. the job should cost about 1k but he's doing it for me for 750 including parts, plus he'll have it back on wheels today. this is what he's gonna do;
-replace all 4 rotors
-replace pads
-service all 4 calipers ( take apart, lube and adjust....) they aren't working right
-brake system flush including the ABS
-fix some brake lines
-replace fuel filter
i think he's givin me an ok deal....
