Getting quoted 2300 for a full brake service, ripoff? Anyone know any good shops in Vegas as alternative?

Of course it's at the dealer. This would be for all new rotors and pads for all wheels. I found the OEM parts online and they total around 1300. If I had all the tools and space to work I would do this myself. But 1k in labor for a 3 hour job sounds steep. Anyone in Vegas know of any good shops that know this car and will save me money on labor?

I second RMC. He is a legit guy. Been dealing with him for many years now.

Funny update....so the dealer just called me as they are looking at the car. I bought the car used from the Honda dealership owned by the same company. The mechanics found that when the Honda guys put new brakes on the car, they put the wrong rotors which makes sense because the brakes had been really noisy since I got it. I even brought it back to the dealership after I bought it telling them about the noise, the tech looked it over and said it's fine because it's high performance brakes...so I just let it be. But the tech at the toyota dealer said it's all wrong. Luckily since the dealers are owned by the same company, they will replace the rotors and brake pads for free with the right parts.

LMAO! That's what I get for buying used from a dealership.

When you say noise, does it sound like a honk when slowly stopping? That's normal.

sometimes I’ll hear that especially when the weather is warm. Usually it’s a loud squeal when I slowly come to a stop.

Damn that was a close call…. now quickly drive to the recommended mechanic everyone mentioned for an inspection and never go back (to the dealer)!
