New brakes for front wheels
My toyota corolla already has a mileage of around 64k. In my most recent trip to the auto shop, they estimated the lininings of the front brake disc to be around 3 mm and they advised me to change the brakes. I got an estimate from them and they quoted me a price of 169 USD after discount. Their normal price is 189 USD. A second shop is running a promotion of the same type of brake job costing 99.99 USD. Upon further enquiry, they say my corolla is using ceramic disc and cost 10 bucks more for the job. So I went for the second offer. The normal price for the second shop is 169 USD. In addition, both shops also advised to clean and align the rear brakes. That cost 55 USD for the first shop and 32.99 USD for the second shop. If not adjusted, the rear brakes is not able to grip the wheels as well and the front brake will wear out faster. The standard brake job from the second shop offers the following: 1) install new brake pads 2) resurface rotors 3) inspect brake components Warranty: Lifetime parts warranty on brakes shoes and disc pads. 12 month, 12k miles labour warranty. This is first time changing the front brakes since buying the car. I was told the rear brakes are still in good condition.
