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 1016Share
WaveSpire+FollowBought a 2017 Transit—Wet Belt Worries and What I Did NextI’m picking up my 2017 Transit tomorrow, and with 87,000 miles on it, I know the wet belt needs attention soon. Ford quoted me £1300 for a full replacement, but there’s a three-week wait! To keep things running smoothly, I plan to change the oil and filter right away—every bit helps. I’m also digging into the recall info since the previous owner never mentioned it. Anyone else been in this boat?
