You guys only pay $16 for state inspection?

Hell we pay $40 here in Texas.

only thing i see ridiculous is the shop supplies. That is like 5x as much as shops charge for shop supplies.

So you bought 2 tires and got new rotors and brakes all the way around for $1500?

I recently had some of that work done by a very trusted mechanic...I'll check the invoice and see how much that was but looks close if I recall correctly.

What kind of car do you have? $100 per axle for brake pads is very very high IMO.

Looks like you waited as long as possible before getting your vehicle serviced.

If you buy the brakes from autozone with the warranty and do it yourself, you never have to buy brakes again. Just bring in the old ones.

Their shop rate seems a little high but not obnoxious. 3 hours labor to change brakes seems reasonable, figuring 45 minutes per side.

Almost 1600 dolla bills to put on brakes and wheels? Poor thing, you must be broke.

$100 for pads? Damn jena

$100/hr for labor ain't no joke either

Dunno what shop supplies would cost $120


You learned that you could've saved yourself $800 had you done the brakes yourself. Nobody's fault buy your own. They didn't give you a quote before they started?

You could have done your rotors and pads for a couple hundred bucks at Auto Zone and a Saturday afternoon.
