this is for rear drums plus front rotors. how jewed am i getting.

Not sure what it's going into but you couldn't put tyres on mine for that.

>this is for rear drums plus front rotors.
>how jewed am i getting.
$500 worth.
If you can't do the labor, $0

Seems about what I was quoted at a shop in phoenix about 4 years ago.

year make model

they are charging you for OEM parts + 30-100% markup on them
find a shop that will work with parts you provide, and get them from Rockauto.com
or learn to wrench.

How
Can't be a fancy brand dealer because you wouldn't bring a car that's old enough for drums to one of those
Is your car so crusty the shop doesn't really want to deal with it?

>>28450225 (OP)
On a scale of -berg to -stein I'd say about a -owitz. I'm assuming some krautshit and/or luxobarge tax is at play.

Without knowing what it's going on it's hard to say, really. Also, learn2 wrench? I got quoted $700 for my 3 series when it went in fo warranty work, but upgraded to drilled front rotors and still only spent like $150 (rear ones had another 50k miles or a few track days left on them.) My f350 would be about $350 in parts and machining to do both axles with quality parts in this monopoly money shit show. My old Ranger was $11 not including sales tax for cheap front pads on as-was rotors, but that made sense in college and also is probably $35 adjusted for inflation.

2018 mitsubishi mirage. they also said the drums are MORE expensive than the rotors. wtf i thought drums were cheaper.

>>28450266
Drums are cheaper to manufacture because the tolerances can be looser and the force is mostly levered from the rotational motion (smaller hydraulics) but a little bit more involved to service.
As other anons said, rockauto the parts and YouTube the job. You can probably get all the tools and supplies you need, including jack/stands and a case of beer, and still be hundreds of dollars ahead. Even if it's even money, you'll have accumulated beer, tools and knowledge.

>>28450274
I will do that since this actually sounds fun. what if i don't have a garage? is it possible for me to find a nice quiet place out of sight to wrench and hope no one comes and fucks my shit up.

>>28450274
Brake bleeding will require a friend. I guess there goes the beer.

>>28450266
>this price for the most basic work on the cheapest shitbox you can buy brand new
it's beyond over. parts changing flat rate monkeys have left us no choice but to diy everything forever. me and my wife both make 6 figures each and I would never pay this. op do yourself a favor and shop around for the love of christ.

>>28450284
i don't have friends.

>>28450266
Had a hunch it was a Mirage kek, but that's not old/rusty enough to warrant a quote that basically says "please leave" imho

Drums are cheaper to produce, but take a few extra steps to service. So they factor in a little extra time, but I doubt that's impacting the price significantly

>>28450287
buy a motive pressure bleeder for $50 or learn to gravity bleed (slow). the pressure bleeder has more than paid for itself. I don't have friends either so I don't have to ask my wife to do it anymore.

>>28450266
honestly unless the rear drums are completely worn out, i would not replace them.

$75 for a brake kit
if you need new calipers, they are $150 each.

What did the mechanic say is needed?

>>28450308
pic related,

>>28450313
that is so overpriced.

find a shop that will work with parts you bring in.
sounds like you only need pads and rotors. relubing slide pins should be standard work.

whats your zip?

>>28450331

>>28450225 (OP)
> $60 shop fee.

Do it yourself. It’s not that hard.

>>28450345
> $60 shop fee
sounds like lift time.
$527 is spannering time.
I'd have the drums skimmed but the guy I know wouldn't want anything to do with American money.
Sounds like OP went for the complete brake overhaul as is normal for this chan and walked in asking for a fun time.

>Warranty says free pads for 30k or 33k
>28 k miles
>Gonna get some new pads on the brembos
>They give me a line about how it's "a week out of warranty" even though it clearly had several months left
>Offer to change pads, just the pads, for $2700
>Do it myself with Hawk HPSs for $150 and an hour.
Brake pads and drums are really easy unless you have a bunch of rusted shit in there.

>>28450359
Shoes can be a cnut. Wear something over your face because you may get all stabby at yourself removing those springs.

>>28450225 (OP)
What car?

>>28450284
You can easily do it yourself, just make sure the tube goes uphill after the bleeder so the bubbles accumulate at the top of the tube instead of flowing back in to the caliper.

>>28450359
So even though it was still under warranty you left defeated?

>>28450225 (OP)
>wrenchlets getting scammed and ripped off
Thanks, life fuel

>>28450359
>unless you have a bunch of rusted shit in there.
i feel like i probably do. this is probably why the shop gave me a "please leave" quote like the other anon said. they probably don't want to deal with my rusted shit. i can see some outside visible rust, but i don't know how badly its rusting on the inside.

>>28450225 (OP)
very. Just rear rotors and pads on my car were $130 from rockauto with stoptech parts. labour was free because I'm not a faggot.

>>28450266
>1.5k on a fucking mirage.
kek. lmao. Imagine paying 25% of the vehicle's worth for two drums and shoes.

>>28450308
>unless the rear drums are completely worn out, i would not replace them.
Few shops are equipped to turn drums nowadays. I wouldnt want new shoes on an old drum.

>>28450481
Does oreilleys/vatozone still turn drums/discs?

>>28450482
If they do they send them out.
With how cheap Chinese rotors are it doesn't make sense to turn them unless it's for some rare care no one makes parts for

The drum itself does not need replacement. The shoes are 30€/pair.
The rotors too. And the pads. And the works is free just takes three hours.

Driving is expensive. If you are not experienced.

>>28450266
rear drums generally last like 200k miles.

>>28450247
This isn't the 90s, boomer.

>>28450313
You're getting ripped off, you shouldn't need new drum units just the shoes.

>>28450281
No ones going to come and fuck your shit up retard. I’ve been wrenching in apartment complex parking lots my whole life and never had an issue. This is the dumbest excuse for not wrenching.

>>28451533
This is why Id always get one of those garage units when I used to rent. Either you live with niggers that wrench their hoopties too or you live near some britbong faggot getting on you when just checking tire pressure.

>>28450225 (OP)
Damn nigga I'm peak wrenchlet and it's like $464 for the rear drums on my shitbox and about $300 using autozone parts plus the labor

the only reason i can afford to daily a race car is because i dont pay some spic to fix it for me ever.

>>28451639
>$300 using autozone parts plus the labor
For the front

>>28451302
>the drum itself does not need replacement
wat, they wear the braking surface too just like rotors, they should have a discard measurement stamped somewhere for the inside diameter. you'll probably also have a hard time finding someone who can cut them these days so reusing them with new shoes without a resurface risks pedal pulsation and increased noise, just like pad slapping over old rotors

>>28450225 (OP)
paying another man to fix your car is like paying another man to fuck your wife.
sure, it saves you some time, and sure, maybe he can do a better job than you, but its not worth it.

>>28451847
Jesus Anon, it's just regular service, they don't give a shit about ripping around in your car, why do some guys take going in for service as some personal attack? If anything, labor rates for the techs is so damn low, that they're the cucks from working on these stupid things, I just go grab something to eat, then slide em an hour of labor plus the cost of a rotor resurface and pads and it's done and then I'm back to driving.

>>28451859
im ok with farming out the jobs you literally can't do, like the rotor resurfacing. nobody has the machine to do that in their own garage, so ok, send them out.
but you should be doing the rest yourself. not just so you don't get cucked for labor and parts cost, as the op is getting, but also so that you can learn to maintain your car yourself.
working with ones hands and fixing shit is very rewarding (emotionally, if not economically). being self-sufficient, also. and not contributing to the salaries of illegal immigrants and the profits of their employers, most of all.

>>28450313
why the fuck do you need new brake drums on a 2018 car?


Also lol you can buy them for $40 each

You're getting ripped off big time

>>28451878
not him but I'd be leery of those being so cheap, the wheel bearing is in the drum and I wouldn't want to skimp on something safety critical like that

>>28451847
>paying another man to grow your food is like paying another man to fuck your wife
you do grow 100% of your own food right anon?

>>28451885
>the wheel bearing is in the drum
wtf no it’s not. that wouldn’t even work.

>>28451885
>the wheel bearing is in the drum

oh damn I looked at another picture and there appears to be one

>>28451905
It is on the mirage. There's a spindle on the rear beam axle, then you slide the drum over that and it's held on by an axle nut.

>>28451878
>$200 for a single drum
Wtf,
If you can't do the work yourself, ask the mechanic if he can find cheaper parts.

>>28451898
no because that's not a thing. even small family farms require multiple persons to work them.

but i do cook my own food, and i have similar feelings about it. only a cuck pays $15 + tip for a burger & fries.

OEM rotors for my car is something like $200. Haven't looked at drums, but it all comes down to how you value your time.

>>28451921
If all he has are hand tools like sockets and ratchets he's not going to be fucking around with bearings.

>>28450284
>Brake bleeding
no need to bleed the brakes when fitting drums n discs

>>28454203
You'll need a 30mm axle nut socket and half inch drive torque wrench for it, but unless you're replacing the bearing itself you won't need any special tools like a shop press (and drums are so cheap I would just recommend getting a new drum with the bearing already installed if it needed rear wheel bearings anyway). When you take off the axle nut, the drum just slides right off the spindle and the wheel bearing comes with it.
t. have done mirage rear drum brakes before

>>28450274
>>28450284
gravity bleeding works
