So my brakes were giving me trouble and it turns out some how i need all 4 of my calipers rebuilt or replaced and new pads. Does $538 sound about right for this? Rebuilt no replaced. Or should i just go another rought?

All four needs to be rebuilt of replaced? Sounds kinda fishy to me.

either. Rebuilt just seems to be cheaper. All the pads are wearing unevenly.

Does the car pull to the left or right when braking? Do you get a pulsation through the brake pedal when braking? If the car doesn't pull left or right, but you have a pulsation in the pedal, then it would most likely be warped rotors and not frozen calipers. If the car pulls left or right, but no pulsation through the pedal, it would point to a frozen caliper.

Either condition could cause uneven brake pad wear.

Seems a bit excessive to need all four rebuilt. What kind of braking issues are you experiencing?

80% chance its a shady mechanic....

Well just the normal warped rotor issues. The brakes are fairly new since the last owner did it not to long ago. They still looked great. The car does not pull when braking either.

Get the rotors turned at a good shop. Find another shop to inspect the car next time that isn't goign to try and sell you unecessary service.

If you have a hard stop...roll forward a few feet to allow that portion of the caliper to dissipate heat. If not possible, take the car out of <D>, release the brake pedal to retract the pads from the rotor. Depending if the road is flat or not, engage the parking brake for those few moments.

The brakes are so new, i shouldnt have problems with them at all. Im just gonna go get it check at another shop before i do anything.
