GSaad Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hey guys, I’ve just had my car in for the 75,000k service and the guys at Blackburn Lexus have told me I need to replace my front brake pads and rotors. Total cost was around $650 Does the sound right that I have to replace the rotors as well? Am I better going somewhere else that will obviously be cheaper? Any past experience would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayjase Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 hi guys i had a similar quote but i think it was up around $900, i ended up doing the job myself, the rotors on my 08 are actualy off a 2010 camry and cost about $100 each and pads to fit were about $75 a pair from memory. Im no mechanic and it took me about an hour,very easy job and saved a bucket load of money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashpoint Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This is certainly an easy "do it yourself" project. My added tips: Make sure you degrease the disks before you install them (mine had rust preventing coatings). Also, buy a tube of copper grease for sliding parts lubrication.
