Anyone gotten their brakes done yet at a shop? Mind to share so we know what to expect?

Shop/Dealer-
Milage when brakes needed servicing-
Track your car? yes/no
Front/rear/both pads replaced-
Rotors resurfaced/replace-
Final cost- $$
There is no set mileage on replacing the brakes as some people use them more than others and harder than others. Brake proportioning is in the 70-80% range for front to rear. This means the rears need to be changed less often. If you track the car you should really use a separate set of pads. What works on the track is not good for the street but it can be done. It also puts excessive wear on your brakes if it is a daily driver. I know racers that change out rotors and pads when they track. Ive seen rotors that needed to be resurfaced every pad change and others were as smooth as a baby's *** and didnt really need to be resurfaced, just scuffed.
