Brakes

e9009 · 02-23-2011, 03:16 PM

Hey guys,
Just wanted to get a quick opinion on something. I got a 'car on hoist' warning on my car and I went it to get it checked. The dealership said I need to get my rear brakes changed, hence the light. Is it necessary to replace pads+rotor+sensor for a car that has 50 k on it? Or would pads+sensor be sufficient?

Thanks,

eventually, the rotors will need to be replaced ... either now or later.

I would think RMP would charge a bit less to do the entire job.

the dealership quoted 398+tax for all three. RMP quoted 380, so seems to be about the same.

are those prices for each brake?

so its 380 x 4 = 1520 to do pads, rotors and sensors all around? i thought the sensors could be reused?

380 for the two rears (brakes+pad+sensor).. fronts are still fine so don't have to be changed just yet.
