I did the front and rear brakes on a 95 YJ. The front for new pads,
rotors and calipers cost me $95CDN

The rear for new cylindera, shoes and drums caoust about $110CDN

It took less than 1 hour to install.

Bill,
It's a lot to me as well but I don't know the whole story... quotes? part
brands? franchise/sole proprietor? etc. You have to evaluate your time vs.
probability of reimbursement.

I recently had a problem with XXXX Auto Centre. They butchered my vehicle
and charged me $400 for the work performed. I called their head office in
Toronto on a Friday, got a call back on Monday from the local rep. He viewed
the vehicle Tuesday and had it picked up by a flatbed towtruck within an
hour. The vehicle was repaired by a different shop and returned two days
later by flatbed towtruck.

The local rep didn't not think I should have to go beyond for front porch to
take care of this matter and also installed/bead sealed/balanced/20 new
chrome lugnuts my MT/R's for my trouble because he saw the tires and rims
sitting in my garage. Probably $100+

Having said all of that, the bill for the work performed seemed high ($140
over quote) but if it was done right I would have just left it alone. The
nice thing about dealing with a franchise operation is that there is likely
pee-on who enjoys nothing more than bawling out a store manager in the name
of customer service.

I think you be trolling. If not give us a link to a picture of your
receipt, as it is missing major items like pads and shoes, and of course
no one would use the term "pair".
