#19 of 23 Cost of brakes and turning rotors on RDV by newmdx1

Oct 08, 2008 (2:22 pm)

I need to get my front and rear brake pads replaced and the rotors (on all 4 wheels) turned.
 
I received 2 quotes - 1 for $599 and the other for $630. That seems really high to me.
 
I have a 2003 Buick Rendevous.
 
Anyone know if i am getting ripped off?

I have a 2002 Rendezvous i had the front pad and rotors and it was about 300 - and the year previous i had to the back and it was about the same. So I dont think it's outrageous...but since you are doing both front and back together you'd think they'd cut you a little break - no pun intended lol but I think this would also be dependant on what area you live in - as far as labor rates go. I'm in NJ...

#23 of 23 Brakes feel like they're "slipping" on my 2003 by sassyfish73

Please help!
  
After having my Rendezvous for a week my mechanic claimed that the rear hub bearings were bad and causing the ABS to "malfunction". Needless-to-say when we got it home the problem was clearly not fixed. Now he said something about the pump might be bad? Honestly what I've read about the bearings going bad doesn't seem to be anything like what we're experiencing...I'm supposed to drop it off tonight but I don't want to spend more money and have the problem not fixed.
  
Any suggestions I can hand him as far as things to look at would be appreciated. I'm going to ask for all the broken parts too...
  
Thanks in advance for your help.
