Yay i got screwed over.
I just dropped my car off at Midas....94 Accord EX
Front and rear pads and rotors.... $755
But hey its better than my local Honda dealership who lied to me...
Said the bearings were pressed onto the rotors....not the hubs...meaning theyd have to change all 4 bearing on the front. For front brakes only, they quoted me at $900
So compared to that i got a good deal
....damn you Honda and your hub over rotors!!

a). The fact you think you got a great price
or
b). The fact that you are being raped in the butt with some vasoline lotion.
I bought those brembo cross/slotted rotors a few yrs ago with the pads of course and I was only charged 100 bucks for the installation.
The parts cost me 280.00 from one of our dealers.
So I paid 380.00 to get the job done. so your paying at least 50% more than what I paid.

Yah true...but your front rotors arent pressed on....
To get my rotors off they have to take off the axle, suspension and take the hub off...its alot of labor
They fixed it in the CL's and the 6th Gens...but not the 5th gen's

i am sorry and sad to hear. you have to look around first and also search here before u take ur car anywhere.
i have a 96 accord and the front rotors are the same but everyshop around here charge $170 to do the front brakes or u can take it off ur self and take it to a mechine shop they will charge $30 to get them back on. $30 is what midas wasted to get ur rotors back in. and i hear somewhere here n han that there is a new tool that make the job easier.
