crazy prices, he said. Well, lexus dealership wanted 300 bucks for rotor resurfacing + new f sport pads. If I were to go with buying new rotors and pads from them, it would be 380+tax (no labor cost included). Buying the same OE parts online would make me spend 220 (including delivery cost). I mean, those prices are just dealerships being dealerships...that’s all.

Usually I like to work on my own cars. It is only if I cant do some kind of repair (either due to a need of having expensive tools or expertise), I will pay a good mechanic or a dealer to do that for me. Changing brake pads and/or rotors on my is350 is easier comparing to my Corolla. And either job fades in complexity comparing to what I went through when changing front struts on my Corolla. Spring clamps on springs in order to remove the old struts....all that fun stuff...

also, i have talked to a local parts store. They do not do rotor turning, but some nice automotive mechanics next door(recommended by that store) do...for 20 bucks per rotor (if you give them just the rotors). So, thank you once again for the info.
