3 car repair place called, 3 very similar prices

Posted by tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) (aka Truman) May 2 '12, 11:17

$200-$250 for just pads, but on VWs with 130k miles, they really suggest replacing the rotors due to normal wear, which adds another $150 to $175.

the dealer price for pads and rotors was $388 before taxes.

sigh.

  - Tell them you'll do the rotors in a month or two when you have the money. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with the old ones. - zork May 2, 11:27 2
    - yeah, thats the thing, i wonder - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 11:28 1
      - When I have said "I'm not going to replace the rotors", I've had them try again to sell me but nobody has said that my life would be in danger and try - zork May 2, 11:35
