Default need rotors and pads installed!!!
so basically I need to get my rotors and pads installed and every shop I called told me the cost would be anywhere between 150-190. Now I need to know if thats to much to get all 4 rotors and pads installed? If anyone knows a coo spot where I can get it done cheaper. Thanks everyone

Don't know what how far you are from rancho but I'll teach you how to install one side then watch you how to do the rest for a gas fill up for me . I got the tools. Learning how to do it yourself is way better than paying someone to possibly **** it up or other things that may **** you off.

WOW thats a rip off, They should only charge you 1 hour labor if you have your own parts which should be around $75-$100 depending where you go.

Is that $150-$190 installed, including the pads and rotors?

If yes, then it's not that bad of a deal.
If they're only gonna turn the rotors and install pads, I'd say do it yourself.

There's a guy in LaHabra that'll give you a good deal on a set of crossdrilled/slotted rotors and you can buy new pads for around the same price of the install.
