Im getting quotes to get my brakes done, rotor/pad replacement, what do you guys believe is a fair price? My dealer quoted me 900ish with tax, but that seems a bit high.

that's booooooolllll****. average price for brakes and rotors all the way around is $600-$700. lucky me I got a place that does it for just over $300 (sorry, not telling where. it's a supply and demand thing).

Seems pretty high. You can buy the Power Stop Z36 kit (includes everything, rotors, pads, etc.) for $429 from Stage 3. If you're feeling froggy, install them yourself... it isn't that bad, lots of good Youtube videos out there.

I think my local dealer quoted me at $400 or so per axle. To do all 4 corners myself I'll save money and can add a few tools to my garage. With discs all around it's not too complicated to do, just have to be wary of the electronic parking brake if equipped. I thinks it's like $500 for parts to do it myself when not selecting the cheapest the parts I can find. (Been a little while since I looked, my numbers may be off).

I am not certain if you have Les Schwab, but they want around $1400 for rotors, calipers and pads. Highway robbery!

Nothing easier than brakes. Do them yourself!

ABSOLUTELY! Haven’t paid for a brake job since 1993 and I’m an art professor not a mechanic by any means!

Why are you replacing the rotors? Most Ford dealerships machine the rotors right on the vehicle as per the Service Manual.

The average price to machine the rotors (on the vehicle) and replace pads at the dealership should be $179 - $199 per axle.

Be very careful if performing a pad replacement on a vehicle with an electronic parking brake.

I've always done the fresh rotors with new pads, maybe this truck is different?
