Sorry for the repost but i really need input on this. I know it is a stealership but...$1200 for pads and rotors? $650 being parts and $550 labor?? I have been working on cars since 14 and nothing has taken me 6 hours to do this! ...and that is just about what the labor would equate to. Is that a normal stealership markup?

 

sorry...2003 a4t .qt

 

it took me3 hours to replace the pads and pull off and resurface the rotors. do it yourself if you can. audidiy.com had a very good writeup that i used. the only special thing i needed was a caliper tool to turn the rear piston that was like 35 to rent and i got my money back. the pads EBC greenstuff cost me like $100 from www.autopartswarehouse.com.

EDIT: also a private shop will do it for cheaper if you dont want to do it. NTB the guys i use for everything i can do were going to charge me $200 something labor since i already had the pads. and that included resurfacing the rotors.

 

Appreciate the feedback but i know how to do it but the car was already at the stealership so i was wondering about the labor time quote. Sounds like bs!

 

1200 is a complete and utter ripoff. You can get front and rear rotors for about $120 for all 4, and a good set of pads for another $100

 

this is a DIY site[:-] not a how to find a dealer

 

we all misheard him he wanted to know if the labor charge was BS. and yes 6 hours is BS not to mention the price.

 

Thanks. It was not DIY it was more like WTF how can then say that is the rate, legally! Just looking for some input on the time thing. Thanks.

 

its all on the computer mate and called time management or up yours I want your wallet

 

I got 4 zimmermann rotors for $190, Hawk HPS pads all around for ($93F + $51B) $144 and stoptech SS lines all around for $117. I got 2 bottles of ATE Type 200 for about $25. Grand total of ~$475 shipped.

It took a few hours to do the work b/c we were missing the caliper piston retraction tool (free rental from autozone) and some other stuff.

I definitely think the price you were quoted for parts is bad, especially for stock parts only and no SS lines! The labor seems a bit long, too. I took a car to my local garage and it took them 2-3 hours. I highly doubt an Audi mechanic can't get a brake job done in 5 hours.

Buy your parts and take it to a Eurotuner to get done.
