Auto Shop: Kurt’s Automotive
A coupon for Kurt's Automotive came up so I went to his shop to get a second opinion from what the dealership told me for a free brake job inspection. He told me of ways he could save me on cost where no other repair shop would probably offer this information. Kind of reminds me of back in the old days. He gave me printed estimates and decided to have him do the job because the estimates he gave me were right on spot with driverside.com, actually driverside was just a tad more expensive than Kurt's estimate and decided to have Kurt do the work. Entering the shop this morning there was a customer waiting and we got to talking and he had told me he would go to no other shop but this one and proceeded to give me tidbits on how you can tell if it is a good shop. I decided to add on a service, brake flush, and Kurt showed me I did need one per a test he had, so I had that done. The cost exceeded my expectations, because I actually thought in the end it would be a little more than the

This is the estimate they gave me. Breakdown is brake fluid exchange would be 134.95 (too much it seems). front brake pads and resurface rotors $249.95 and same amount for the rear. Problem is my rotors might not need resurfacing, hope they don’t charge me for that.

Auto Shop: Craigslist & Advance Auto Parts
My strategy whenever I feel theres a problem with the car is to first take it to a dealer that tests and diagnoses what needs to be done (such as brakes, alternator, etc). Was quoted approx $850 by the Honda dealer in this case to replace all brake pads and rotors on my car (and in addition suggested calipers, and other shocks/struts bs). Then went to advance auto parts with 20% off coupon and purchased front/back premium wearever brand ceramic brake pads and 4 rotors and a can of brake fluid for approximately $205 in total including tax.
Found a 'mobile mechanic' who came to my place on craigslist who was a professional that actually works for a dealer and does this work for some side income and did the replacement work for me and charged $70 (and took about 2 hours for him to do the work).
I've used this strategy for several different things as needed over the years and believe it is the way to avoid getting ripped off and also have control over what is being done on the car

Sooooo took my Infiniti to Meinkie and they replaced the back brakes a month later I smell something burning so caliper on passengers side was stuck, they gave me some line about it was some electrical problem that made my emergency brake engage. Yeah right....so I take it to Infiniti and they say I need new brake pads, rotors and calipers and might as well do the other side to. Haven't got the bill yet but looks like around 1500 not to mention the job I paid for at Meinke around 400.00!

Man our 2012 Honda ACcord LX-P is only 6 years old but I can't count how many times we've had to change the brake pads! Finally switched to a local mechanic instead of paying dealership prices. This was for the rear brake pads. REally liked the mechanic at this place, Japanese Beatle. I also asked his advice about some scratches on the bumper and he told me the local Maaco sometimes has bumper specials, which I might try to catch sometime.

Let the car sit for two years and rotors and breaks were nice and rusted. Couldn't get the wheels off so I paid $14 for a tire rotation and they quoted me $350 for all pads and rotors. I still thought that was way too much.
Front Ceramics - $34.36
Rear Ceramics - $20.83
Front Rotors - $24.14x2
Rear Rotors - $15.82x2
plus about 2 hours of my labor as the rotors were rusted to the hub as well.
Then paid $40 to the same shop to bleed the brakes and I supplied them with the brake fluid.
First time ever changing the brakes and they stop better than when I fist got the car, just do a little research and go for it.

I do my own brakes not only to save money, but to do it right, I drive high miles. Poor jobs can squeak, rust out your calipers and damage ABS. I did a full rear job, fully rebuilt calipers (one stuck, did both sides), new rotors, pads, shims, fluid flush/bleed. Took 4 hrs going slow, longest time to rebuild calipers. Costs: Caliper rebuild kit ($5 x 2) Caliper piston ($14 x 2) Caliper giude pins w grease ($12 x 2) ceramic pads ($27 set) rear rotors ($23 x 2) brake fluid, 32 oz ($7) pad quiet spray ($6) brake cleaner ($6). Did proper job, following the vehicle specific repair manual. I found garages lack diligence and skip steps. DO IT RIGHT, do it yourself!

My son reported "squishy" brakes. In addition, I heard an odd sound from the right rear tire area. Upon taking our car to the Toyota dealer (I have a Platinum maintenance warranty good until 5 years 2017 or 100K miles, now at 4 years and 70K miles) it was determined that lack of tire rotation caused uneven wear on the right rear, producing the odd rotational noise. The brake issue was determined to be a frozen right front caliper. The work include resurfacing 2 front rotors, installation of 2 new pads, shims, and a new right front caliper. Total parts $209.19 labor $227.50. A discount was applied since I had a few more items taken care of plus oil and power steering flush/fluid, cabin air filter, removal of dysfunctional power antenna, and tire rotation. Sure - dealerships cost more....but with my warranty I did the only prudent thing!

Overcharged. Bought the car there and went back for "free" state inspection. They placed a rejection sticker on the car which gave me 5 days to repair. Scheduled the work there, quoted $350. Charged $130 more than quoted. Never again!

Sensor came on but nothing felt wrong while on the autobahn. Took it to the Bosch shop in my hometown and got the call for 800Euro. Seems the discs weren't thin or warped but "damaged/old." The good news is they had new QuietCast(TM) Premium Rotors and Pads in. Spent two days in the shop.
