$500 to change my brakes sheesh
Do these prices for brake repairs sound inflated, or is it just me?
Sounds pretty right to me. Remember mechanic's labour is charged at around $60 an hour.

be glad you dont drive a super duty, it costs at least double that.
i don't pay labor ever, and i spent 400+ on my last brake job.
you know, if you list the year, make and model ill look in the book and see what the labor time is, then you can at least see if they rounded that number up.
you could probably do it with a friend for about 250
That is a pretty extensive brake job. $498 sounds about right for the amount of labor and parts involved.
VOLVO 23-Mar-07 BRAKES - RIGHT FRONT CALIPER, FRONT PADS AND ROTORS 146,139 $525.88
This is from our file on car maintenance. Not done at a dealer, done by an independent guy that does Volvos.
Yeah that sounds about right however , There is a place by me JUST BRAKES they get 98.00 per wheel + if you need any other parts that will be the cheapest I have found, but of course I replace my own brakes. hope this helps. I hate to rain on your parade but I bid my brakes for $77.00 complete turned rotors.
That sounds about right.Every shop charges %26quot;flat rate%26quot; fees. I dont think you got ripped off.
hate to say it but its normal next time buy the parts else where they would have been cheaper if you bought the brakes from autozone they give you a life time warranty on them and use a mobile mechanic. i'm one and would have done that for 90 even. and i doubt they actually flushed your brake system or if it even needed. thats just another way for them to scam money from you
That's not really all that bad.
