Best place to buy pads and rotors.

[E_S_D]

The VW dealer suggested to my daughter that she needed rear brake pads and the serpentine belt replaced on her 2018 Tiguan, the estimate was a bit over $700 (more than $200 in labor just to replace the $18 belt!). I bought the parts at Rock Auto for $55 and had the work completed by myself in my driveway in an hour. The rear pads still had over 1/4" of friction material left on them and the belt was fine, no cracks or glazing.

Pads were shot in the rear, that’s the sounds we kept hearing. Replaced rear pads and boom it’s all good. Rotors fine.

The old rear pads were ******, basically at the tail end

Apparently my brakes are shot.
Audi dealership inspection said I had 60% plus left, apparently GMC dealership said I don’t, so now I’m going between audi and gmc to figure it out.

Audi is looking for the numbers and stuff from GMC, so I’ll send that over to Audi when GMC gives them to me.

Bought the car Friday from Audi of Tysons Corner, GMC got the car today by 10:30am.

GMC said $1400 for all 4 corners installed pads and rotors.

Wait, you just bought the car and took possession today? I’d tell the selling dealer to pony up! No way they should offer to sell a vehicle with brake repairs needed. Go to the top of the food chain if needed.

HOLY CRAP?!? Do they SERIOUSLY want to charge $588 in LABOR for plugs and wires? Am I reading that wrong?

If you haven’t ACTUALLY taken possession and they say it NEEDS all these repairs you best roll your happy ass back up there and have them fix all that. BEFORE you drive away.

Related to the brake fluid change they actually listed CLEAN fluid from calipers and backing plates. Yes, sometimes a few drips can happen... but too actually confess to it??? I can't look at that bill - too upsetting.

Good price at GM, mine $1300.00 last year. Rock Auto has the right parts at decent prices.

We've always had great results with Detroitaxle.com - Reasonable pricing, good product and there's a 10 year warranty on rotors and other suspension parts.

I have a 2020 Yukon XL 94500 miles Neighbor that does a few side jobs just replaced my brakes & rotors front and back. He used parts from Rock Auto total price $350.00 -- parts $200.00 labor $150.00 Find some one that does this on the side (with the knowledge and ability to do the job) Ask around and you will find someone.

I looked at Detroitaxle.com - prices are low IMHO.

Rock Auto because they will have quite a variety of offerings including GM/Delco
