  1. It's an independent shop and includes a lifetime warranty. Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I can trade some peace of mind for my wallet.

     

    Thanks again.

     

    If you don't do it yourself, it is reasonable. About $150 per wheel for pads, rotors and labor is what small shops usuly do it for (at least in my case)

     

    New pads for my Outback = $150.

    New rear rotors = $55

    New front rotors = $110

     

    Those are Subaru pads and basic rotors from Advance Auto Parts. So like $315 in parts for a good brake job with good parts...

     

    so is it worth that much extra for sketchy parts (is this a dealer or what?) and labor?

  2. I have an Outback and was just informed by a on-dealer service shop that I need to replace both front and rear pads and rotors. I was quoted a price of $650. When I expressed my shock at the price the service manager's reply was "hey, I didn't tell you to buy a Subaru. Besides, it's a 4wd." Wisecracks aside, does this price seem reasonable? I'm in the Chicago area, if that helps.

     

    Thanks in advance for guidance
