Hey All, I have a 2006 Honda Civic EX Coupe. Brought it in to the dealer for a coolant flush and they’re saying my pads are down to 3mm and should be replaced soon. The estimate they gave me for front and rear pad replacement and rotor resurfacing - $1100. Does this have boat payment written all ov…

Your area is a high labor rate area and resurfacing of rotors definitely adds to the labor total. Even with machine work factored in it sounds a bit high to me. If they’re down to 3 MM then they’re due. You should price this job around at an independent shop and factor in new rotors for the job in…

I would get a couple more estimates. Contact a couple of trusted independent mechanics and see if the quotes get better. My last brake work cost me $439, including brake flush, new front pads and new front rotors, all name brand. I would expect your costs to be a bit higher (east coast and all tha…

Front brake parts (new rotors and pads) on our Acura are just over 200. If you resurface an old rotor, you can do it for about $15 a piece and I live in a similar area near NYC so this area isn’t cheap either. It takes about an hour to put them on. Yeah, at $1100 I say they are overcharging you. …

For a number of years, all through the 90’s and into the 200x years, Honda used a captive rotor, which is very difficult to remove. Most Honda dealers have a resurfacer that does the rotors without removing them. These rotors came with plenty of meat on them so they can be reused at least once, so…

Wow. There’s nothing unique or exotic about a Honda Civic brake job. If in fact the car just requires pad replacement and rotor resurfacing, we routinely do that for under $200 per axle. Replacing rotors would bump it up to under $250 per axle. For $1100, I’d expect new pads, rotors, rebuilt caliper…

Captive rotors were used on the Accords from the mid to late '90s and were out of use by either '98 or '99. I believe Civics have always had the “just fall off” rotors and doubt that Honda would start using this design on other, later model vehicles. I used to turn those Accord rotors by pulling t…

run don’t walk they our screwing you get at least 2 more estiments.

DIY!! buy a haynes manual and the parts and save yourself 900 dollars.

In my experience the price is right in line with typical dealer prices. An independant shop can do just as good a job for 1/2 the dealer price or less. Shop arouond.

This site estimates $260 front and $245 rear in Pittsfield, MA. This is the high end price, BTW. Get another couple estimates. If you don’t know any independent garages, ask friends, neighbors, and coworkers for some. Eventually, you will see the same names several times. Try those places.
