Default front and back rotors and pads cost

went to dealer today for an oil change and check up, need new brake parts, didn't have time for a quote, and ideas? i have 52,000 miles, and the breaks have never been touched.

Default info inside...

200$ for powerslot rotors front(purems)
50$ for ebc greenstuff pads front(pep boys)

69.96$ for ecs plain rotors rear (ecstuning)
46$ for ebc greens rear (pepboys)
labour = DIY
the front is the stuff i'm currently using. The rear is something I want to do in the future.

Default for oem parts, probably about $250-350 just in parts.

I'm guestimating this parts list:

$120 for front rotors ($60x2)
$80 for rear rotors ($40x2)
$60 for front pads (on the high end)
$40 for rear pads
$15 for a couple of liters of brake fluid

If you don't have one, a rear caliper tool is $20 from Harbor Freight (or rent for free from Autozone).

Default Re: info inside...

i don't have the skills to do it myself, nor the motivation or time to learn how, so independent shop is my best option? stealer started talking roughly 3 something front, 2 something back...oh and then a control arm....

Default You can change pads+rotors without flushing brake fluid

His car may or may not need it. I'm just saying that you can do the brake job without doing the brake flush.
