Young lady, if you have a friend, they can do this for just $100 for labor and you maybe pay additional $100 for parts?

I replaced the pads in our RAV4 not too long ago and the hardest part was taking the wheels off. I think taking the wheels off took more time than replacing the pads.

Many Craigslist ads for brake jobs as low as $30 dollars, if you are a real penny pincher.

Sounds about right to me, I had new rear brakes put on and the rotors resurfaced for $250 at the Acura dealer.

Get a load of this! Was just quoted at $580 to do front pads and rotors only. I call that highway robbery! I said no thanks, bought replacement pads/rotors for all four tires for $150, and am having a local guy do the job for $100.

Not bad. The pads/rotors you bought were probably 10x better than shops anyways.
