Hey guys. I recently got my 2011 jeep wrangler unlimited back from having it 40k service at our local jeep stealer ship. They called me and told me that the rear brake pads were worn and needed replacing. I gave them permission thinking surely it can't be too expensive. Anyway to cut a long story short it ended up costing $1250 all up. $650 of that was for the service and the rest for the brakes. They said the service was more expensive than usual because they replaced air cleaner and diff oil. Is this cost excessive do you think? Should I find another service provider?
I think that might be Two new arses, one or the service and one for the brakes, i would be back down there demanding a break down of costs etc, that is ridiculous
My local stealer quoted me $680 for rear pads, machine disks and flush the brake fluid. Told 'em to shove it, took it to Brakes Plus and had new pads, fluid flush and new rotors (couldn't machine the old ones) for $540. I shudder to think what Jeep would've charged for new rotors as well.
Poly4x4 charged me 180$ for rear brake pads and labour. Still steep but nothing close to a New Arse torn. Did the Front myself, 120 for Hawk pads and 26 bucks machining in a shop. You've been ripped off big time. Changing diff oil is not part of the odd brake Job.....
