View Full Version : Reasonable labor charge for installing brake pads... CraigB 10-28-1998, 12:50 PM ...front and rear. Any ideas? What would you pay, not to get your hands dirty?<p>TIA,<br>CraigB Eric H. 10-28-1998, 01:06 PM Assuming you are off warranty, and assuming you do not regularly perfom this operation yourself, I would fret less about the charge and focus on the dealer nearest to you with the best reputation, and get it done right, period. Letting anyone else near your A4 may open your wallet much wider than you ever intended.<br> Big O 10-28-1998, 01:08 PM CraigB 10-28-1998, 01:16 PM I just don't want to get gouged by the dealer. BTW, I'm still under warranty, but I'm switching to Rofren pads to cut down on the brake dust.<p>Thanks,<br>CraigB JonC 10-28-1998, 02:30 PM the actual labor time is less than the book time you're charged. I can do a "2 Hour" book job in about 1hr. to 90 mins. myself, even without a lift.

It is not<br>really too hard. Just follow DaleB's FAQ on the job. Just my 2 cents worth.<br>If I knew it was that easy, I would have done it myself the first time.<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM CraigB 10-29-1998, 04:41 AM I was quoted $81 an axle, so I think I'll just have them installed at my 10k mile service tomorrow. Then I can put my nice,new CLEAN 16" R-28s with Pirelli 210As on (hopefully they'll stay that way)!<p>CraigB Big O 10-29-1998, 09:02 AM |
