Default Brake Quote help???

Is $270 a fair price to install rotors and pads on all 4 axels? I have parts, this is just cost of labor. Thanks for any help

I say yes. I sure as hell wouldn't do the work for that amount...

That's over 3 hours work @ $70 an hour. Seems awfully pricey to me. This is a simple job you can do yourself.

More important than price is the shop’s reputation.
Are they going to remove and install the wheels with a air gun, and beat the hell out of them?
Do they use a torque wrench?

When you buy a intro sporty lux car you must be prepared to spend 5-8% of new cost per year for mainteance and repairs [tires, brakes, fluids, rubber isolated replacements.

Most independent shops in ATL are at $85 per hour we usually charge 1 hour per wheel for pads and rotors including shim kit cleaning and pin relubing.
