JUst got my cars brake checked and the mechanic said i need new front rotors, pads, and sensors and said it would cost 1k for parts and labor. Does this seem like too much? anyone have any recommedations for rotors, pads or sensors.

 

why do you need sensors?

I would go to http://vastperformance.com/shop/inde...d9336a52ba040a
for all your part needs.

 

Blauparts.com has a rotor and pad package for $219. I don't know about the sensors or why they would need replaced.

 

now thinking about it i think u are talking about pad sensors. they are part of the pad most of the time. Not abs sensor right?

Dude 1k for parts your getting ripped offf. Whats he gonna charge you for labor 2k LOL. Do it yourself its easier get everything off one of the websites. Most of us get parts from ecs there cheap too but some go other places you can find deals here and there. for rotors and brakes and sensors it shouldn't cost you more the 400$ if your buying good ****. DIY! Its easier and less hassle

 

the break pad sensors i need but it would be 1,000$ total with the parts and labor

 

I replaced my front and rear rotors with DBA slotted (from AWE) and changed out the pads (obviously). The sensor is just part of the pad, it just plugs into a harness so your car can tell you when your pads are shot. If you have confidence in yourself buy the parts and do it yourself. I am pretty much usless when it comes to working on a car, iv neverally really done much other than this, and i didnt really have any problems. You could easily save about $500.

Winter mode, shamefully dirty. But as a daily driver in a small New England town full of mud its hard to avoid.

 

Sillymechanic didn't realize that the sensors come integrated into the pads.... thats a real good sign, not goin back thurr

 

If you can't do it yourself, $400-$500 for front pads and rotors (installed) is retail.......
