BEFORE I go on i just have to say i got the brembo slotted rotors and hawk hps pads for the front and rear of my g35 coupe (which came with brembos) for 821.26 and i do all the work on my cars ie pull motors trannys, rear ends etc so no i didnt pay this amount.

so i just need to vent about the dealers. DO THEY LIKE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WTF. im so pissed about infiniti right now.

so heres the story last week my 03 coupe started to make noise so i said to myself ok lets see how much they will charge me to do both front and rear new rotors and front and rear brake pads

I had a bet going i said at most $1500 other buddy said $2000 and 3rd said its gonna be close to 3000 and we laughed him off. I mean $20 bucks are on the line here.

so i go into pull up to service tell them ok need a estimate. he looks over the front and says yah they are used and then looks in rear says these are low to. Im like oh the rear wears out as fast as the front (like a dumbass) he said yah sometimes they do.

so we go in for a estimate my 2 buddys with me.

"Well sir its expensive because you have the brembos, the fronts rotor each are about 570 with tax and rear 490 with tax" so that right there put me out of the $20 bucks then he said rear pads 260 and front 330, then about 500 for labor" Im like what hes like "yah we have to check the brake system also make sure there isnt damage and check the lines" at this point my buddys started calculatin the cost and then i hear "pay up *****es my $3000 dollar buddys estimate was almost right.

I looked at the guy and said this is a ****in jokes you guys totally just ripped me off if i was to go threw with this you and i know it. let me take your name im going to go see what is list on these and seeing if you would charge customers over list and ill be back. He immedatly was like no wait please wait i may have done something wrong.

SO WHAT IS LIST ON THE FRONT AND REAR STOCK OEM ROTORS FOR THE BREMBO EQUIPPED G35 OR THE 350Z TRACK MODEL AND THE FRONT AND REAR PADS THAT GO ALONG WITH THE BREMBO PACKAGE??

 

I do not confess to be a mechanic whatsoever, but I do know how to replace rotors and brake pads on many different cars. And a Z is one of them. It is no more than a 2 hour job at the most and very easy. I can not believe they would have the ordasity to charge someone that price for that job.Needless to say I am sure that you called him a fool and laughed at him when he gave you that quote.It is amazing how some dealers or mechanics attempt to take advantage of people. The shop that you went to needs to be exposed for the frauds that they really are.

 

Thats insane.
I paid $3000 Canadian a few years back to replace 4 rotors, all pads and rebuild the calipers on my Porsche 968 a couple of years ago (They also have Brembos). But rebuilding the calipers were a big chunk of the price that included taking apart the calipers and replacing all the seals etc. 3000USD for just pads and rotors???? Crazy.

 

Here you go from Performance Nissan:

OEM Brembo Front Rotor (350z / G35) $415.95 (x2)
OEM Brembo Rear Rotor (350z / G35) $395.95 (x2)
OEM Front Brembo Brake Pads $132.95
OEM Rear Brembo Brake Pads $89.95

Parts TOTAL $1846.70

2 Hours Labor Approx. $160

Brake job TOTAL Approx $2000

 

But did you NEED rotors? This is why I am glad I learned to do my own brakes.

 

for that price just get stoptech's

 

Seriously, that price is complete ********. Like the7ferret said above, you could get yourself a big brake kit for that price. I would go back to the dealership with the list price and show it to the manager, and let him know that not you nor your family or friends will be doing any business with that dealership as long as their employees try to rip off their customers.

 

I guess random people actually pay this....

Get a second qoute from another dealer, and if there's $1k difference call Infiniti if you feel like pursuing it.

 

if you read my post i alredy had the parts just wanted to see how truthful the dealership was in this case they were not
