Default Reaonable Price for Rear Pads + Rotors and Labor.

I'm pricing out the replacement of my rear pads and rotors for my 2002 GS300and I had my mechanic quote me $350. I was wondering if this is a fair price for such a job.

Thanks!

I suggest doing it yourself. Purchase the parts on Sewell and pay 10 bucks to get a day membership to the toyota technical website if you want to get all the right torque specs and procedures. Rotors and pads is as basic of a DIY job as you can get.

Dayummm! I didn't even get a quote from Lexus and that's exactly why.

Agreed. This is how we learn and pass on knowledge. You can do a search and get all the info right here on this site. Anyway it is not a hard DIY and you will feel better about knowing that you have expanded your experiences.

Thanks!
if you want the PDF file with the torque specs for a brake job, PM me with a address where I can send it to.
