Hello,
Yesterday my car started grinding when I was braking... I knew my pads were low and I drove on it for about a day. The grinding got worse as I knew there was no pad left and it was now metal on metal. I took my car into Speedy Auto and got it checked out. They showed me bare brake pads and grooves in my rotors from the grinding. They said the rotors had hot spots on them and wouldn't be able to be machined.... that they would have to change the rotors altogether. So I went ahead with the procedure and the bill turned out to be $341.00 for front brake pads and rotors. Is this a normal price for a procedure like this? Or did I get ripped off a bit here?
Thanks for your time,
MitchHow much do front brake pads %26amp; rotors cost on a 2000 Toyota Camry LE.?That is a fair price. Could you have gotten it done at some hillbilly shop cheaper, of course. Speedy is national chain shop and you got a good warranty.How much do front brake pads %26amp; rotors cost on a 2000 Toyota Camry LE.?That is a fairly reasonable price. Depending on where in the country you are, and how good of quality parts they used. A repair like that on a Toyota should be between $275-400 depending on the parts used. Your right in the middle, so not bad. At the dealer we get around $425 for Toyota original parts. They most likely used aftermarket parts thus the discount. Doesn't mean the parts are any less quality though as some aftermarket brakes are better then the factory ones.How much do front brake pads %26amp; rotors cost on a 2000 Toyota Camry LE.?they got you a little bit on this one,normal cost on doing that one should have been around 250 bucks total,but you paid their cost on the mark up for the parts also so that's about right for a shop,they mark the parts up ,but it could have been done a lot cheaper than this,considering replacing everything was lot easier of a job,good luck.How much do front brake pads %26amp; rotors cost on a 2000 Toyota Camry LE.?over half the cost was labor, parts probably didn't cost them much over $120.How much do front brake pads %26amp; rotors cost on a 2000 Toyota Camry LE.?yes id have to agree, you got the typical markup for getting it done at a shop they usually can double the price for parts at the minimum. when doing my own Camry i get large box sets of pads that would work out to be 15-20 dollars to put pads on the front tires. but just buying them for two wheels can be 25-40 depending on name brand or just like the general Napa brand which is fine. the rotors range from 40-60 for each all purpose rotor. that's why its a good idea to change or at least check the brakes when they start to squeal. that's the wear bar rubbing on the rotor to let you know. you normally don't want to let the pads get any more worn down than having 1/16th inch left of pad. they are very simple to change just get a manual online for ten bucks. takes about 15 min a wheel and save you hundreds of dollars.
