sooo i just got a estimate that it will be 860 bucks to get my front breaks fully re done air filter flush all my fluids and change a emergency bulb or something. sound about right or fully getting raped?
If you drive a Porsche with Ceramic brakes - you just got the deal of the century, buddy! FWIW - I just did the front brakes (new pads and rotors) on my daily driver Subaru done for $250. Did not have to do the fluids as they were done recently, but still...
assuming a "normal" car. front or rear brakes should be between 200-250 including machine rotors. air filter...why do you need it changed, are they saying its bad? have them show it to you or just hold off. fluids...sometimes they have to get changed i guess. brake fluid flush is what, 120 or so? tranmission fluid around the same sometimes if they do it they can fuck it up I'm not one to talk, I just blew $780 on my car last week replacing 6 cylinder coils and plugs, was getting misfires and they couldn't figure out which ones were bad (no CEL). hopefully that's it for a while. I hate car maintenance, next time getting a honda civic.
I just changed front brakes and had my car fully serviced (oil, fluid, filters, air filters) all for under 500 bucks on a Mercedes CLS.... no way you should be paying that much
Not the dealership, is it? My friend spent $900 bucks on brakes for a S500. The 60k maintenance on my boss' Bentley is $2400. haha
i learned the hard way. never ever get your shit done at Jiffy lube or those kind of places. Or Midas/Meinike. they're fucking scammers. go on yelp and search for a good mechanic that gets good reviews. so much better.
I also recommend this place i just found if you are driving german....cause i just got my first Benz too
i roll a carolla i basically spent 175 getting all the shit and had my dad do it haha. he got pissed when i said how much the guy was trying to charge me. i do however need a new back tire. i also didnt need half the shit the guy was trying to sell me (supprise? hah) anyways thanks guys! if you do have any mechanics that are good for like toyotas and what not thatd be great!
