Brembo brakes installation cost

[chandol31]

I just received my Brembo brake kits for my 2018 Yukon XL Denali (GM part # 84263235). I bought those from ShopChevyParts.com and saved $700 from the MSRP. I will have them installed by my local GMC dealer in order for the brakes to be covered under the GM warranty.

I was quoted $250 a few weeks ago which seems high to me. I am assuming here 2 hours of labor at around $125/hour. Does that seem reasonable to you?

Thanks

You might want to check with an Independent Garage to see if the Dealer is in the ball park. Not sure what all is involved with installing Brembos. The going rate here is $145/hour. If it was me I would have the Dealer do the install for peace of mind. You are using parts ordered from a GM parts company and the GM parts are being installed by a GM Dealer which ensures full GM warranty on parts and installation if anything happens.

It's easily a 2 hour job.

Easily a 2 hour job...$250 at the dealer is reasonable, and with it to include a warranty, why try to save $50 or a $100 when in the long run it will be the dealers problem, no sense in fussing with someone else.
Take it as a get what you pay for!

What are you plans for the rear since it looks like that part number is front only?

The only reason I'm replacing the front brakes is for safety as I'm pulling a 7600 lbs travel trailer across "hilly" California. I read somewhere that the front brakes handle %70 of total braking which is why I decided not to replace the rear brakes (that and the cost involved)

$250 at the dealer for the GM Brembo front big brake kit install isn’t bad.

For reference my local tire discounters will install customer supplied rotors and pads for $120/per axle for our SUV’s. So the additional labor of “custom calipers” new caliper mounting brackets and hardware plus dealership labor premium with “warranty” to me puts $250 in line.

Calipers, brackets, rotors, pads plus bleeding the front brakes. $250 is cheap.

I concur, $250 isn't bad for that job.
