What do you mean look at them.....I've replace brakes myself, but even to have someone else replace them isn't 450.....Pit Pros (which I'm not saying you have one where you are) costs like 250 depending on the make
I bought brakes for the Escalade for 200 and it cost me 100 to get them put on....BUt I also had windshield wipers and fluids for both added.
