WAT!?!?

Is that for parts and labor or just for the pads!?!?!?!

Just re-read the post... They want to charge you $800 for PADS?!?! WTF... No wonder people call them "stealerships."

You're making my head hurt - just close & move in & enjoy it for awhile. Then do ONE thing until it is done if you really plan on addressing all those things you brought up.

yeah that's what i'm planning on doing.. But it's a laundry list of to do's.

so i need new brakes and i just called the honda service center in towson.. they said its like 800 bucks for parts (maybe 900 i don't remember) does that sound right? if thats right, why not just go for the vivid racing stage two for 600?

stupid stealership

Rotors too?

That would make a little more sense. Even still, HTG sells pads for <$100 for all four corners. Rotors are still only about $100 a piece. What is the other $300 for?

Start the list now and keep on it. Bobbie and I have gotten complacent and back burnered a lot of stuff.

I agree with Alex, to a point, but I think there is real merit in setting up the goals now and actually working on it as time allows. Especially given the fact that your work has a crazy busy season.

That is what I do. Changing brakes is really, really easy and it isn't that much more work to swap out a rotor. That price borders on theft. Seriously... Somebody needs a reality check there.
