I will go with a good mechanic. Look in yelp for good mechanic . 

Check what brand break pads and rotors he quotes , research yourself what are recommended good brands .

Suggest him what you have researched. 

It always cheaper to do at mechanic. 

Also try to negotiate with dealer. 

Last night i went to dealer for break pads and rotors change. He quoted me $1350. 

then called two other dealers .. one quoted $1150 and other one $1100. 

Went to few mechanic shops based on yelp reviews , they quoted me around $750.  Called up dealer who quoted me $1100 and told my price.  he immediately reduced price to $900. 

Finally i went with a mechanic who quoted me $750 for the same parts what dealer installs

Is it rear wheel drive ?

 

Rotors and break pads including calipers Nene cheskunnadu..it's not big deal.. 

 

I will suggest just buy rotors and break pads from AutoZone or go to monroe mechanic and ask him which break pads or rotors to buy... 

 

Car wheel alignment Sears auto center lo 49$ ki chestadu..

 

Make sure you do rotation too...

Endhi man break pads ki rotars ki 750$ uh.. em car needhi ? And all wheel drive uh..just front wheel drive uh..

 

Break oad each costs around 20 to 27$ .

 

Rotars 45$ to 60$ max if you return core, they will come for even cheaper price.  There are 8$ rotors in the market too..but I don't suggest them ..just saying.. 15 minutes job..  parts cost you less than 120$.. even considering mechanic charged you 80$ per 1 hour if labour they shouldn't cost more than 220$.

Bro, body shop ante accident aina car ni fix chese shopulu. 

Brake repairs etc are done by regular Auto Repair shops.

Nee car inka warranty lo unte, get it fixed by a Dealer though it is costly. Warranty aipothe go to a cheap mechanic.
