So the dealer wants to charge me $380 for a brake job. JustBrakes says they can do it for $99 using Centrix "organic" pads.

Another non-dealer repair shop says they'd charge $470 and that the labor on each axel costs $156.

Any advice on how to save some money on this job? I'd rather no go wiith crappy parts at a place like JustBrakes.

Thanks

What needs to be done to the brakes? Just changing the pads?

 

buy the pads and do it yourself... there should be a faq in this site somewhere

here infact:

changing brake pads is super easy, Its so easy that the 16 year old that makes minimum wage working at just for brakes can do it.

 

Dude, get some HPS Hawk pads and do the owrk yourself! If you need to turn your rotors take them to pep boys...about 8-9 bucks each to turn.

 

pads are easy, replaceing rotors are simple if you have a breaker bar. That would be the only two things that could possible need to be done, I changed my rotors on my Z in about 3 hrs. then a few days later and finding out I didnt like the new rotors took me about 2 hrs to put the stock back on. The hardest part is getting the bolts free for the first time.
