Ditto!! Got the TSIB done but didnt get the tires yet like i mentioned in previous posts. i could barely tell the difference in the performance of the pads. totally worth it.

How long does it take the dealer to replace the brake pads? Can it be done while I wait?

I guess thats not too bad. I'll probably have to leave it overnight though as I have a problem with my fuel door not closing sometimes as well.

The TSIB says .7 hours and on my paperwork it said it took .8 hours. If they get your car in right away it should be less than 2 hours.

I waited for 2 hours for the 5k service, change LPS setting, turn off DRL, the brake TSIB, and they replaced my parking/city lights

Love my dealership

Well, I guess it also helps that they recognize me from when I had the RX

Brake pad performance is great, but the dusting is annoying.
