You have no idea. I got quotes for doing the brakes from the dealer and my indi shop. For all four rotors, pads, sensors and labor they where within 50 bucks of each other at $1,750 and change.

I then asked the indie shop how many hours in labor and there labor rate. Turns out the labor piece was only around 300-325 total.

Then I went online and found that full pkg from turner motor sports that even includes the brake fluid for $575. The indi shop is going to install this for me for the $300 in labor (I have been going there for over 10y so they know me really well and the front desk guy is my neighbor.

So that's NEARLY a $900 dollar savings in parts costs and its not like the turner kit contains substandard parts. JEZZ!!
