Today, I arrived at AAA about 15 minutes before it opened. I was their first customer for the day. I explained that I believed I needed rear brakes due to the noise I was hearing from the rear wheels. I was quoted two prices. If I needed just brake pads it would be around $189.00 but if I needed rotors it would be about $380.00.
I left the car and around 1:15 pm, AAA called and said the price would be $711.00 because the front brake pads and rotors were totally shot. The rear brakes needed brake pads but they could resurface the rear rotors. They also recommended changing the brake fluid because it looked dirty for an additional charge. I picked up my car and drove to an auto shop someone had recommended. I arrived there around 1:40 pm and left the car there. Around 2:16 pm, I received a telephone call from the new shop. They told me I needed front and rear pads but the rotors were fine. They would resurfaced all the rotors, install all new brake pads and change the brake fluid for $411.00. The car will be ready for pickup around 5:30 pm.
