benjaminmeyer+Follow$2300 for Brakes?! Am I Getting Ripped Off Here? 😬 Just got a quote to replace my brakes, and the number hit me like a ton of bricks: $2300! My gut feeling is that this sounds incredibly steep, so I'm already heading out for a second opinion. 😑😡 The shop claimed all my calipers need replacing because the pins and pistons are rusted. Given that, what would you say is a fair price range for getting pads, rotors, and calipers changed out? I'm trying to figure out if I'm being seriously overcharged here. #CarRepairStories #Cars #Brakes #AutoMaintenance #MechanicAdvice #CarProblems #Overpriced #SeekingAdvice #VehicleRepair #AutoTips 67250Share

We didn’t have any fancy tools, so I grabbed the only thing I could find—a random piece of wood—to use as a shield. Honestly, it felt a bit sketchy, but we were determined to save some cash. Looking back, I realize how risky that was. Next time, I’ll make sure to use proper safety gear. Have you ever improvised like this?
