Price to replace all brakes and rotors

[mtbutler93]

In Norcal I'm replacing all brakepads, sensor wire and rotors for our 2005 LR3, not using the dealer and it's costing $1,500. Got 60k out of the initial rotors, wondering if this a decent price?

My gut tells me dealer would be a lot more.

Thanks,

To have this done at my local dealer is approximately $1000-1100 generally speaking. $1,500 seems a bit high to me. You can order the parts yourself at http://www.roverparts.com/ and save yourself some cash usually.

if it is not the dealer thats high my dealer wanted 1100 had a local guy do mine but my rotors were ok so it was 250 pads n also 3 new wipers were in that

There's another thread about this if you do a quick search, but $1,200 should be about the max you should pay. If you get it for less, god bless you. 60K is pretty good mileage on those brakes considering other's experiences. It's a heavy truck

Sure would be nice if the dealers would at least have a consistent over-pricing policy from dealer to dealer. There is NO WAY I would ever pay the dealer what amounts to 800-1100 in labor for what would be about an hour job for them.

Thanks for the input, dealer was $1,670.00 all told so i saved a little, next time will do it myself.

must you replace the rotors too? bought my truck with 30k miles from the dealer. at 60k now and my break sensor is coming up on occasion. time for pads AND rotors?

if the brakes dont pulse or viberate when braking you can probably get away w/o changing the rotors I do a crude check with a straight edge and look for warping It has worked well for me for the last 10 years
