bnmjy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 New brake pads and rear brake rotors, brake fluid flush, oil change, filter change, and tire rotation. Bitch better be happy now. (Actually, I definitely need a tire realignment, but fuck that for now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distinct Lunatic Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Yesterday after close to 3 years I made the final payment on my car, was $340, so now I completely own it with no more payments going forward... at least til next year when I'll likely use it as a trade in with the dealership I got it from to get a nicer car.

Well, he didn't give a price for labor (or anything really, but they probably went ham on him)....Brakes and pads are probably about a cnote, assuming he has some small car. If he paid for the house brake fluid, oil and filters they probably snatched his grill out for that.....Smarter to shop for your own shit and then just pay for labor. I have no idea what a tire rotation would cost because after they put the rubber on the rim, that's the extent of tire work I'll allow. But yeah, rube pricing...I thing 600 is about right.

I specifically asked for a tire rotation, brake check, oil change, and air filter change. The only thing extra they got from me was the brake fluid flush, but I knew I never done that since I've owned the car, so I just went along with it. I know I probably could have gotten it cheaper had I bothered learning car shit myself, but I'm too lazy for that.

I drive a Rogue. The roads here are absolute shit and motorists frequently need tire realignments. I just decided to take my car to the shop today because the squeaky noises when braking recently turned into grinding noises. I barely have money now, but I knew if I didn't act now I would have been fucked soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's say $130. If a fucking shop mechanic takes even an hour to swap pads and rotors he is milking you, because I can do brakes using jack stands and hand tools in half an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying ideally altogether it should have cost what...500? Ok well costs for these things vary across the country and sometimes because people are busy it's really just worth it to go with whoever can get you in that day. The brake fluid flush doesn't sound necessary at all but I don't think it could've added too much to the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brake fluid flush doesn't sound necessary at all but I don't think it could've added too much to the bill. You completely missed the point. "Rotors are expensive" is wrong. As for the rest of his bill, a lot of places throw in tire rotation for free with an oil change. My guess is he went to a higher end place or a dealer. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised of the brake fluid flush (which is nothing more than a money grab in most cases) was the most costly thing, because of how time consuming it is.

Poof Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Lets not forget everything costs more when u arent in bumfuck nowhere.

Then you are going to the wrong places. Like, here's an example. All four front ball joints on a 2007-2019 Jeep Wrangler is a $500 job, that is if everything comes apart easily. In the case of my mom's Jeep, I broke a ball joint press tool trying to get it apart, so I buttoned it back up and she took it to a well known shop who charged her $200. A dealer probably would have charged $1200 and "found other things wrong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
