I recently was told all my breaks needed replaced at a cost of $1,462 which included warrenty parts and charged for rotors and calipers. I went in because the brakes felt soft.
After agreeing to that price and having the work done I was called by service stating that I now needed to replace the left front inner tie rod end at a cost of $842 ($99 for alignment) after they had done the break work and put everything back together.
My feeling is that this is a bit high of a price to pay.
$1462 sounds like a pretty high price for brakes and the fact that they want to sell you new calipers is a little fishy to me. One caliper may be bad…but all four.
What are the warranty parts that they said you needed???
An inner tie rod may cost you over a hundred at a dealer, but not much, and the price for the alignment seems fair.
I’d get a second opinion from an independent machanic…not a chain shop like Pep Boys or Sears. Ask around for recommendations from family, friends and co-workers and who evers shop is bragged about the most…make an appointment.
