Blue J Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) $1300 for brake pads and rotors on my car. That's both axles.  It doesn't really piss me off or anything...I expected it was going to need those; I just didn't think it would cost quite that much.  Oh well. Such is life. I got 117K miles out of the original set, so  Josh, did you have this done at the dealer ?? ... You've got a newer Charger, right ?? Did they break down the cost as far as parts and labor ? Yeah, it's a 2010. The rotors on the rear are vented- $135 per side (but the front rotors are not vented, and they're the same price). The rear pads are $129, front pads $99. Flush and fill of the brake fluid, too. It would be great to know how to do it myself- but bleeding the calipers properly and putting everything back together correctly is above my gear-head pay grade.

I got 117K miles out of the original set, so  It's mostly the labor cost. Do you have a friend who can work on your vehicle instead? No, I really don't. I only have a couple of friends. And unfortunately, they don't work on cars.  The parts came to a little less than $800, but the labor is the rest, yeah. I didn't see this when I posted the above post Are there sensors that go along with the brake ?? Yep, I'm sure of it.

That car is doing a yeoman's work, and it still runs really, really well.  The suspension and the whole front end (chassis parts, I mean) is all original, too, and all of those things are still fine.  The only work I've ever had done to it up until now is when I had the water pump and timing chain replaced, about three years ago. And it's on its second set of tires right now. But that's it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) At work today, I was the only one in my department, and management had the nerve to wait SIX AND A HALF HOURS before they gave me a break.

EagleMoon Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Air-conditioning is making noise so I'm having somebody come out to look at it. Hopefully it doesn't cost a ton of money to get fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) The person who couldn't be bothered slowing down to let the quail cross the road. Consequently, he caught one under his car and injured it. It was sitting in the middle of the road stunned. If left there, it would probably have gotten run over, so I stopped my car and ran across the road and picked the quail up and deposited it on a lawn. When I was coming back from the store, I didn't see it there, so hopefully it recovered and went on to join the rest of his quail family.
