Too much?

[sl55g]

My dad just got my car serviced and the mechanic said that new rear rotors, pads, and struts were needed. He charged $160 for Axxis deluxe plus pads, $150 for rotors (some brand starting with a C, dont remember), and $200 for 2 Monroe sensatrac struts. He charged $100 for labor. Was this a bad deal?

You paid $310 for rear pads/rotors only? That is pretty steep.

I recently read that Bimmerzone is running a special:

Brembo (Blank) Rotors (2 fronts, 2 rears), PBR Metal Master Pads and Free sensors, Only $215 SHIPPED !!

If you prefer to get just rotors,
Brembo Front (blanks) = $80 per pair shipped (Part number: 34 11 1 164 431)
Brembo Rear (blanks) = $60 per pair shipped (Part number: 34 21 1 164 401) http://www.bimmerzone.com/parts-special-brake.htm


Next best would be PPS (performancepartsstore.com):

E36 non-M3 Cross Drilled Brake Package (excluding 318Ti)
F/R Zimmerman cross drilled rotors, F/R Axxis/PBR Ultimate pads, F/R brake wear sensors
$325.00 shipped to lower 48 states (add $28.00 for Hawk HPS pad substitution)
E36 non-M3 Blank Brake Package (excluding 318Ti)
F/R Brembo blank rotors, F/R Axxis/PBR Ultimate pads, F/R brake wear sensors
$250.00 shipped to lower 48 states (add $28.00 for HAwk HPS pad substitution) ^those prices are for brand name pads & rotors, front AND rear. The "blank" package would be the considered the OEM style equivalent.


You MUST learn to shop around!!111 I'm not to sure about that pricing on those struts either... BUT on the bright side, $100 total for all that labor isn't too bad.
