Price of rear brakes
Good morning guys,
Few questions. During a routine service my local dealer informed me that I need rear brakes. The price for rotors and pads plus install is around $1,100 (dealer price). This seems excessive to me, what has been your experience? Second, do I really need to have the rotors replaced? Third, Can I just purchase the parts and take them to a local mechanic? This is not something that requires great knowledge or skills, correct?
It is a 2010 C63 with 48K miles. Car was purchased used last year and do not know if previous owner has had the rotors replaced already.
Thank you for your help.

As for if you need the rotors replaced, that's up to you. As I understand it, not replacing the rotors will result in faster pad wear, longer stopping time and possible vibrations under braking. (If they warped enough, I'm assuming they could rub while driving, really wearing the pads).

Highly advise not to go to dealer for brakes. Check out StopTech. I have them on my car, paid $500 for front and rear pads/rotors and they have tons of life left at 40k miles on them.

Our rotors cost around the same price are your dealer quoted you only ours are two piece and brake pads are also included.
Once its time to replace your rotors in the far future, you can purchase our replacment rotor rings at a fraction of the cost.
Saving you some cash in the long run while still using a lighter two piece rotor.
