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.
I would look at Raybestos, Wagner, Bendix, Bosch, or any of the major parts store brands.
Brakes and rotors at 30K miles??? I just replaced mine on my 2016 A4 at 75K and the still had plenty of wear left. Yes, I drive aggressively too.
And put full timing chain service -cam chain (chain, guides, tensioner), VVT cam adjuster, vacuum pump, cam follower, high pressure fuel pump rebuild, vvt spring seals(viaco and uro)\ncomplete timing belt kit with water pump and idler pullies, new brakes all around(raybestos pads and rotors) , new spark plugs and coils(Bosch and ngk), valve cover gasket, PCV replacement(new diaphragm and hoses), new cabin filter, new air filter, new fuel filter. and all fluids just done.
Brake dust- so much brake dust.
Over 600 per axle for brakes seems high. I just ordered Raybestos pads and rotors front and back for 250 total from rock. Learning how to fix your car is like paying yourself.
I installed raybestos and having so many issues with them already feeling warped and noisy brakes.
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
