Brembo replacment rotors under 100 bucks with free shipping
Akebono proact or euro ceramic pads under 60 bucks with free shipping
So 160 bucks for first rate, better than OEM parts.........
Must be some kind of labor to charge 500 bucks. If people are willing to settle for paying over 500 bucks for labor, like alot seem to do, then this is going to continue happening. Just find a good indy in your area (mine never worked on a saab before, but he is very very good and enjoys the challenge...at 1/3 of the labor cost) so you can forget about the one this that kills the saab ownership experience...repair cost. I have my own personal gripe with the dealer over wanting to charge 200 plus dollars for a transmission cpu update. Be saab coming out with the update they acknowledge that some units need it, that there was a problem with the first program. I shouldn't have to pay for the updated one, it should be a recall item. That is another issue though.
