Cruznolfart Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 A local Nissan dealership wanted $275 to replace rear brake pads on my girlfriends Maxima. I did it for $38. If you take the amount of time you spent doing it and multiply it times a livable wage, add in some charges for covering overhead like rent and utilities, add in some more for covering product and service liability, add in some more for taxes and employee benefits, add in some more for licensing and permits, add in a little bit more for profit so the business has a reason to exist in the first place...$275 probably isn't a bad price. I enjoy doing things for myself but I don't enjoy working for peanuts, even for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoRedFoot Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 $275 is a rip off man, I had mine quoted for like $79 (American) for my 2001 Accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vourot Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I believe that approx annual maintenance on Range Rovers is around $2000.00. Doesn't matter how old they are. One of the worst vehicles on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
