Has been charged $720 for the front and rear brake pads replacement and rotors polishing.

Is that how it costs?

 

What kind of car do you have? If it's just a regular GS, then the pads for all 4 wheels are around $150, turning the rotors are about $15-20 a piece. Labor shoudn't be more than about 2 hrs.

 

I assume you took it to a Lexus dealer? ... that is a fat charge IMO

 

Yeah, Lexus of Serramonte, SF BA.

 

You've been had. Have you considered asking for the cost upfront?

 

that is alot of money for a brake job.
how many miles did you have on the car?

 

About 25,000

 

Don't feel bad Joe...a lot of us had to learn it the hardway also. Next time call around or post a thread and maybe we can help you out. Don't go to the dealer unless you're Madoff's son or something in that nature....maybe business parnter also ???

 

Actually I just called around and got quotes ranging from $420 to $475 per axle so it turned out that I had the best price in the Bay Area, CA!

 

buy OEM pads from the dealer and bring it to a place to install. installation down here in OC, so. cal is about 50 for front and 50 for rear including turning rotors

 

You could have gotten the "less dusty" TSIB brake pads for free on the front....if you don't arlready have them.

 

What are the TSIB pads
