looks like $300 for front and rear pads.

 

some would say so.

 

I'm not familiar with Hawk Brand. Obviously they aren't the same as the Brembo ones. Are they comparable?

 

yes, hawk has been around for a while.

 

:rofl: thats cuz they are brembo branded pads

fuck that

you can get wagner thermoquiets for 50 bucks ... and other brands for under 100

 

even cheaper here: http://www.bmaparts.com/ShopByVehicl...ad+Set&mode=PA

 

lulz at people spending mad loot on something a girl can do

 

you could get aftermarket for 1/3 to 1/2 of that.

 

Yeah from that site it looks like $340 for the front rotors, $340 for the rear rotors, then maybe $300 for the pads. Total is $980. The other site listed the break pads as being $600. Maybe the OEM ones are more expensive. That would change the price to $1280.

They are also charging me for the Struts which is another $1200 and to do the whole 60k mile thing which is to replace all fluids and blah blah blah...they said that was another $500.

I am sure they charge more for profit plus labor costs and such....so that's how it reaches $4k

 

labor rate will be 70 -100 an hour, this is also charged by the book, not actual hours usually unless you getting a deal.

profit markup if its a smart shop will be anywhere from 35 - 50 percent over what they paid. sometimes even more

most likely they paid 20 - 30 percent less than you would
