Brought the car into the dealership 2 days ago for some weird sounds coming from the rear suspension area. (350z Vert GT w/ Brembos)

Got a call today from the service advisor, and this is what i was quoted.

Front/Rear Rotors and Pads needs to be replaced.

Rotors - he basically said nissan uses rotors that are soft, thats why they recommend replacing them (i think its BS, but what do i know)

Pad are all worn and needs to be replaced, all four, same with the rotors.

Price: front/rear rotors $560/each x 4 = $2240
front pads $224 each x 2 = $448
rear pads $233 each x 2 = $466
total w/ labor est.. $3,700



Is this right? anyone have any suggestions what to do? i should just go somewhere else and get the pads replaced only.

anyone have this issue? need some help please

 

Uhh no... NO!

Buy the Stoptech Stage 2 upgrade for about $850 shipped and pay someone $100 to install it. You can almost buy a BBK kit for that much money!

 

do it yourself.

if you can't then ask your friends.

if you have no friends then make some friends at some "tuner" meets.

 

tell the service advisor to suck my d*ck lol. 3700??? are u kidding me WOW

 

what a fawking d-bag . i bet you your rotors don't even need replacement . you could get the stoptech stage 2 for 690 at forgedperformance.com.

 

wow thats a rip off, I went to Chronic Nissan in griffin and they did all 4 brakes and rotors for just over $500.

I'd call nissan tell them what that ********** is charging, that is a ripoff

That price is more than some transmission jobs, ****, Hell i just bought a BBK for 1250 for the fronts! Brakes are supposted to wear out, this guy is clearly trying to **** you over

 

My way to spend 3700. Order StopTech 6POT Fronts, and StopTech Stage Two upgrade. Offer Stoptech Stage Two Front portion to someone for labor to do the installation.

 

thanks a lot fellas, i almost fell out of my chair when he called me with the quote.

 

yeah dude, **** that guy, take it someplace else, it shouldn't cost more than $700 bucks, and thats high.

I'm seriously about reporting that ********** though, prices for repairs are set, and this guy is wave overcharging, report his *** and nissan will pwn him

 

i think i will.

Gonna get a couple of drinks when i get home and write the letter.

 

Get that in writing and have that *** bag arrested.

 

Two months ago I did everything you just listed for $800 and change. And I knew THATw as high but I didnt feel like arguing. Its a Nissan not an Enzo.

 

Where in CA are you?
Brakes are a piece of cake to do.

Get a case of beer and plenty of folks would be willing to help I'm sure.

 

gimme the address of that dealer and i will go burn it down.

 

+1

That is ridiculous.

 

my bad guys, it didn't come out to $3,700, actual written estimate came out to
a little more than 3k.

 

3k, I DON"T THINK SO!
even if they said 2K, still no!
if you do it your self it would be around 1K. Let me help you the cheapest place to buy part!!

just noticed,
$225 for brake pad??? wtf and that is each pad not a both...wtf
what kind of pad are they using??
if you give me a 2k i will personally fly there and change them for you, with top-end parts!
that would be 2K+3% paypal fee

 

its funny, cause the guy helping me told me i might be better off getting aftermarket brakes, but you can hear the manager in the back ground saying "its better if you stay with Nissan parts, they are from Brembo"

I should have asked if i got a complimentary reach-around for 3k
