Holy crap.

I bought Brembo rotors for under 40 bucks each..that's good enough for me..calipers cost about 60 bucks each. Bendix pads were under $50. Brake shoes should be about 12 bucks. This is for a '98 Corolla.

Man..you got ripped...

I did all 4: calipers, rotors, pads, and front wheel bearings on my wife's Regal for under $250. Took about 5 hours. Not much to it, really.

Whoops, that price only includes 2 calipers.

Sounds like they needed some beer money the last time you were there

With all that they replaced, you'll likely only need pads this time -- if you act fast.
Don't ignore it.

btw: they screwed you on parts -- don't fall for that again

Took my car to the mechanic, replacing pads, caliper and resurface rotors for 220.

I'm glad to hear you took your kneepads with you this time instead of the KY Jelly. 😉
