What the heck do you drive for a car??? 500 dollars for parts is way over excessive even for 4 corners... Unless I suppose you drive a BMW or Lexus or such... As for 1400$ to have all 4 brakes done, where the heck are you having your work done the dealer????

I just priced out pads and rotors for my Tow vehicle getting top of the line parts from AutoZone, it only came to 325$ dollars.....As for labor I have never seen a brake job all 4 corners take anymore the 2-3 hours, and even at 100 dollars an hour, that is only 300$ bring the total to 625$....

Now grant you I drive American Made vehicles....But come on 1400$ for brakes, I don't think you go to a very honorable garage for price estimates, or you did / where looking to have more done then just pads and rotors.
