Installation of new rotors, pads, ss lines, and fluid

Reaper42 · 02-21-2012, 03:17 PM

I just bought a brake upgrade package for my Z. Trying to decide whether I should attempt installing myself, or have it all professionally done.

I was quoted $380-$400 by a shop to do everything, they said it was probably 4 hours of work. Is that a good price?

Any input is appreciated

Generally, you should estimate about $90 to $110 per hour for any certified shop including the dealership. I would recommend having them professionally installed especially a new braking setup.

Good Luck!

If you know what you are doing, sure, why not? If not... might be easier to take it to someone who does.

It's not four hours of work though. More like 2 at the most. Maybe they are including a lunch break in that estimate
