Hello NOVA area,

Can anyone recommend me a legit shop or a person to replace all 4 rotors and pads. If anyone local can help me, I would help with the labor because I would love to learn to do this by myself but with some guidance. I have the parts already, OEM blank rotors/OEM pads. I live in Falls Church, close to Tysons. I've always had my neighbor (retired mechanic) working on my car but he cannot work anymore due to unforeseen circumstances. I've done some research and the labor should cost $200-$250 range. Please correct me if i wrong. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

PS I'm kind of hesitant to go to random shops because of all the nightmare stories.

 

I'd help but I'm near frederick md. Try ptuning for a reliable shop.

 

Thank you for the response, the ptuning in Manassas correct? Does anyone have any experience with them. So i just called a few dealerships and they are charging me $240 per axle, basically $500 just for LABOR!!!

 

i just spoke with Ptuning in Manassas and they quoted me $349, is this a fair price?

 

Probably fair given the $100 per hour labor rate in the Washington Metro area.

Here's the thing..............

You could shop around for the cheapest price.

Or you could pay a little more for someone who is familiar with these cars and the peace of mind that goes with that.

Might want to add a brake flush if not included. Should be done every two years ( I have put on my flame suit for the coming replies about this)

 

Ptuning works on s2000s often. $349 seems fair. I've taken my s there for suspension and brake work. No issues.

 

Up near Frederick here as well.

 

I did my own pad replacement but haven’t done the rotors. Pads are a piece of cake.

 

Rotors are a piece of cake as well as long as you have an impact driver for those rotor screws.

 

Check with RRT by Dulles. Been taking my car over there for the last few years. They did my clutch replacement earlier this year. I had them work on brakes, alignment, installed ball bearing bushings and Ohlins. Expensive, but highly recommended.
