Hi All,

So, I just learned that I need to replace both my front/rear brake pads along with re-surfacing the rotors....dealership is asking for over $700... can anyone suggest of a cheaper place to get it done in MD/VA area?

I can use all the possible help right now...

Thanks.

lol stealership. i got mine done at the dealer once, they charged about 200 for pads and resurface for 1 set. so front and rear is 400 i would say. stealership prices that is...

 

Check with any other local brake service centers.

 

i'd do it for you for 350$ if i was in silver springs. Just do it yourself and save. pads alone cost no more than 120$ and find a machine shop to resurface the rotors for about 15$/each. The whole job should run no more than 200$ DIY.
My mom lives in Bowie btw.

 

Wow! I have it scheduled to go in the stealership today! Should be more active checking the forum huh? You guys need to live in MD/DC/VA so y'all can help me out! I've only had the car for a little over a year, and the pads are GONE!! I take my Z out on the back roads once a week and here's the price I'm paying! thanks for all your help. If in the area, let me know.

cancel the appointment. there's a how-to step by step on this board for brakes.

 

yea, the pads do go fast. i need a pair myself soon as well, planning on doing it myself this time.
