If I buy roters/pads - how much for just labor.

[StunGun]

Hey guys, wondering if I purchase roters/pads from an online store, like overnightautoparts, or bmwoem, how much do you think it will cost me to get them install at a regular mechanic, not the Stealership...but just regular labor.

Whats the labor rate cost, since I will have the parts...and how long does it usually take to put the front roters and pads on...

I know how to do it, but im lazy and would rather pay....dont have that kind of time.

Thanks

Any mechanic will charge you 1 hour for labour on it.

Yes. One hour of labor. Depending on the shop, that could be anywhere from $65 to $90, give or take.

I was charged about $110 in labor charges + Taxes. The parts cost me like $130 + Taxes. Usually Bimmer certified rates are $90/hr and they usually do it in one hour but you maybe charged a little more...I mean its not a fixed time limit....he can always say it took him some time to figure out some thing yada yada.

It should be clarified that that's 1-hour labor PER AXLE. I called up my next-door mechanic and he said roughly 2-hours labor at $75/hr for all 4 wheels.

Yes. That is what I meant. I am sorry. Hootie, Thanks for clearing that out.

How about this... spend less than an hr of labor... and get the jack... two stands... an allen set... and hammer... and change them your self...

Easy as pie...

lol, i'd rather buy 2 ceramic pads, 2 discs, for 80-100 bucks and pay someone 100 to replace them. Just dont have the time, if it was a few months from now, sure...i'd be able to do it. but not for the next few months. maybe i can just hold off. but i dont care if labor is 100 bucks, i care when the stealership tells you its 600 for fronts, when the total for the parts are 90 bucks.

Easy as eating pie or baking pie? Some pies are hard to bake right.
