I'm trying to figure out if the mechanic I've started to go to in Nepean is charging a fair price for their service and parts. I have a 2018 Honda Civic and the brake rotors were rusted. So I had them replaced. The total cost was about $1400, taxes included. I'm essentially looking to find myself a go to mechanic, but I have limited knowledge on what a fair price is. Since I hear part mark ups are standard practice. In this case based on the part numbers the mark ups are close to three times the cost in comparison what is on online auto parts stores. Here's the breakdown: Brake pads (front two) : $122.91 Brake rotors (front two) : $315.56 Labor for front replacement : $250 Brake pads (rear two) : $85.43 Brake rotors (rear two) : $156.58 Labor for rear replacement : $312.50 With environmental fee and taxes the total was $1426.73 What do you think? # Related Answers Section Create your account and connect with a world of communities.
