Ammo,
From my experience, it's tough to gauge the cost of a brake job. It is very much dependent on several factors, i.e. the type of pads, resurface vs replacement of rotors, etc. Did the dealership give you a written quote that tallies exactly what they are including as a part of the job?
I know people who have had excellent luck with the local Meineke as well as their local mechanic. Some of the chains will give you a choice of pads. Some only use X or Y pad. Same goes for the local mechanic. Other friends go to a dealer and only a dealer for all of the work including brake jobs.
There are members of the forum who are definitely more versed in car repair stuff than me and I'm hoping they chime in with their expertise.
