Country people don't have cement ponds.

 

youll be alright OP, lesson learned about the stealerships, just remember changing out your own pads on a Tacoma truck is one of the easiest DIY jobs u can do plenty of tutorials and youtube how tos its liking riding a bike once u do it youll never forget how

 

I found an independent shop near me thats owned by a former Toyota tech, they will be getting all the jobs I dont feel like doing from now on. They use Toyota parts too, right down to the oil filter.

Dealer techs are the newbs straight out of school probably 9 times out of 10. Id trust an independent mechanic more, and his prices will most certainly be lower. $550 for a brake job, when maybe $150 of that is parts is asinine.

 

I enjoy doing brakes. Find it theraputic to get out of the office. Unless they are drums. Drums can't get bent

 

Ask them why not use new rotors .50 something for oem . Interesting . Ask for more discount lol

 

Huh?

 

Damn young uns

 

I clean and repair swimming pools.

 

General rule of thumb brakes last anywhere from 15k to 150k depending on driving habits and vehicle mods, 45k was probably the average when I was a tech.

 

Perfectly good Beverly hillbillies reference and zoom, straight over his head.

 

did you notice because you periodically checked them or is there some kind of indicator that tells you the brakes need attention?

 

They well begin to squeal as they hit the wear indicator on the pad.

 

What in the hell... Brand new rotors cost a fraction of that. lol

 

so what rotors and pads do you guys recommend on a 2013 double cab short bed trd sport 4x2? read all 4 pages and dont want to spend $600+. I can order parts online and get help from a friend...sorry for hi-jacking OP, just didnt want to start a new thread and get yelled at lol

 

This is good to know since they are the closest dealer to me... though I would never really take my truck to the dealer...

I replaced my own calipers and put in upgraded brake lines, and it cost me about $300 in parts.

but since we're on the topic (kind of) of brake work costs...

Can anyone give me a estimate for how much it would generally cost to have someone flush out my entire brake system? including ABS, MC, and lines?

wondering because my brakes aren't as firm as I think they should be.
