cost of brake job?

Well the Mossman needs to eat too! Mighty Motors is a tiny BMW shop, and I bet their rent is pretty expensive.

Hey all,

Just looking for a rough estimate. Normally, I'd do this stuff myself, but my landlord won't let me do big jobs in the parking deck....

I need pads and rotors in the rear done. How much should this cost me?

Thanks

Pads are quick and easy, buy the 8 dollar seperator tool at sears to avoid f'n with a c clamp, wake up at 6:30 on a Saturday, and start before anyone is awake. If nothing is rusted solid, each caliper is a 10-15 minute job. Rear rotors are a PITA if the inner drum section for the ebrake is worn in. Otherwise, couple of sockets, big flatblade screwdriver for the rear brake spring thing, and voila.
