Rotors alone at autozone can be like 70 a piece. You throw in the pads and stuff you're close to 200 for parts.

Assuming he charged for 2 hours of labor 400 isn't too far off.

A little high, yeah.....but you weren't gouged.

My mechanic slept with my first wife. I’d love to have your problem.

I was just getting an oil change and got recommended an brake fluid flush, for 130 bucks. Called my usual guy and he said he could do it for 25
