    nfp, I think the dealership prices you were quoted were pretty good! I recently had my dealer replace the rear pads (almost gone) & rotors (warped). The STEALership is charging $250 APIECE for the rotors!! I didn't ask about the price ahead of time, so I got burned on the bill. Never again will I not ask!

    There's almost always a higher markup on parts installed by the dealership. Sometimes the price you're quoted at the parts counter is much less than what they charge you in the shop in the same building (in addition to the labor!). But the prices Merlin @ St. Charles gives us are lower than any I've seen.
