Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Audi
Just last year I switched out the original Yokohama tires for Pirelli and this year I switched out the original front brake pads. My mechanic said the rear pads still has life in them so deal with it next time. I thought it would cost a lot, but it was just Toyota parts so price was $120 or so.... and its going to be another 10 years before needing another change assuming similar driving habits.
I just did the brakes on my Audi. Front was easy, back needed a compression tool to push the piston back and an OBDII module/app to retract the electric brakes. It’s easier than my old Nissan or the Volvo XC90 I had before the Audi.
They quoted me $8k for standard brakes on my RS5. Bought all the parts myself for $2600 and did it myself ????
I'd like to add brake jobs are fairly simple too. The front pads in my 2016 Q5 were the easiest of any car I've ever owned.
My 2005 Prius needed brakes, I paid $7 for pads and $12 for each rotor. That's $31 for pads and rotors.
Just dropped 4500 on brakes (rotors, fluid, pads), tyres, and an oil change on my 2022 Toyota Supra for regular maintenance.
Camry or corolla hybrids. I have cameys in my fleet that have done half a million KMs needing nothing more than oil, filters, tyres and a single set of brake pads
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
It had about 35k miles on it and the service rep said it failed due to the front brakes being worn down to the rotors.
