Re: Complete brake job needed, opinions?

What's the arguement? I work in a parts store and I see this happen everyday, sure the labor will still be the same but the parts sure as heck won't, I don't know about some of you other guys but I would rather pay $20.00 for a rotor than pay $60.00 for the same part.. Most shops don't have a problem with doing this, if you ask them first and as far as the warranty goes if the shop can't get a labor claim from the parts store that they got the part from, then you would wind up paying the labor again anyway.

I know, I know, I wasn't typing right but I believe my point was taken. I meant to say drums. And about a year ago I bought new Wagner drums for a 96 express van and they have the knock outs.
