I own 1999 RX 300 with 112000 miles on it. Recently there was a squeaking noise whenever I braked. Took to a lexus dealer and they have given me an estimate of total $2100!!! 1248$ for parts and 800$ for labor.
They are asking me to change front and rear brake pads, rotors, brakes caliper assembly. I said no way you are going to rip me off.
I also took second opinion from other lexus dealer and they told me the same thing.
I checked online for parts. All the part numbers given by them are toyota parts. Checked both these sites
www.mylexparts.com &
www.discounttoyotaparts.com. All the part numbers are available here and total is around 900$.
I was thinking of buying these parts online and getting hold of a reliable mechanic and getting the brake job done. Hopefully for less labor cost.
I live in Chicago area.
My questiosn are:
1. Are the mentioned sites above provide genuine parts? Do any one of you have any personal experiences with these sites?
2. Can you refer any mechanic in my area?
3. Any other suggestion you can think of?
Appreciate your help and thanks for reading through.
