    We are speaking the same language here.
    I don’t change my own oil, it’s not worth the hassle or the disposal.

    But when you can you can grab a powerstop OE kit and and an hour of time for less than half vs the dealer raping you for 6 bills and resurfacing your rotors, I’m doing it myself and allocating the rest to hookers, because that time spent is more valuable to me

    Damn I’m jealous. For y’all saying you make more working than sending it to the dealer congrats. Dealer charges 185 an hour, working 40 hours a week that’s 384k a year pre tax.
    No wonder I have a first gen

    Sorry bro. You must be young. No offense just observation. As we age we pick up on things in life. A $60 coupon shows you they are over charging you by AT LEAST $60 over a marked up quote. It’s like a $200 gold chain. It says $1000 but with coupon 50%off so it’s only $500. But you paid $500 for a $200 chain.

    I've been too busy to swap my brakes although I know how. SO I'm trading money so I can spend time fixing other house stuff and not paying someone to do that. Not enough time in day

    Brake swap and bleed is gonna run me about $375 here in Nor Cal. I consider that not too bad actually. May have them do some other stuff too since I'm so short on time.

    Jeez. What are you guys doing to your brakes that need them replaced so quickly?

    I have 37’s, almost 1000 extra pounds, and have almost 40k miles. Mine aren’t even close to needing to be replaced.

    Basically if Bill Gates makes (X+1) per second and the amount he's picking up is less than X, in one second he could make either X+1 or whatever value X is if he stops to pick it up. Numerically? If there's a $100 bill and he makes $200 per second and it takes him one second to pick up that bill, by stopping he acquired only $100, not $200, thereby losing out on $100.

    Does that make sense lol?

    I’m theory, but realistically he would continue to make his 200 per second plus the 100 he picked up that second.

    Maybe we should take up a collection to pay the OP's brake bill and end this shitstorm of a thread. :)

    Well honestly, you can add 30% to any "normal" amount total just because you're in Hollywood. I lived there for like a decade and EVERYTHING and EVERY service is more expensive in that town. Trying going to an Eye Doctor or Dentist. Hell even a Budweiser at a club is $12-15 for reference. lol

    This is the only comment that actually addressed the thread question. Unfortunately, I read all the others. I really need a hobby or something.

    I respectfully disagree...he asked what other people are paying at Toyota dealerships, not how much Warren Buffett loses if he changes his own oil.

    Plenty of people said they don't because its highway robbery and takes almost no time to do. OP went off the rails bragging about other peoples salads being tossed for 43 dollars.
