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.
