Hey guys I have a 97 camry i4 and just had my car serviced at an independent shop. I got my oil changed, oem front pads and rotors replaced, front brakes realigned, 4 new toyo spectrum tires, drain and fill transmission fluid, replaced right rear outer C.V boot, replaced engine valve cover gasket, replaced flexible pipe for the exhaust system, replaced air filter. The total was $1130 does that sound about right? Thanks

I've never hear of aligning front brakes.......And the rear wheels don't have CV boots.

You need to give a breakdown of what each thing costs

[xtremeskier97]

Heh...you either just got ripped off, or they explained something to you wrong, because just like ASG stated, there are no boots on the rear and Ive also never heard of 'aligning the brakes'.

[Pkim87]

This is what it says on the paperwork. (For the C.V boot I read it wrong the right front was replaced)

1. Oil Change- $19.35
2. Front brake pads- $65.87
3. 2 Rotors- $68
4. 4 Toyo Spectrum tires- $307.80
5. boot kit- $29
6. valve cover gasket- $12.28
7. Air Filter- $14.90

As for labor

1. Trans fluid change- $75
2. Reline front brakes replace rotors and pads, lube calipers and pistons- $85
3. Replace 4 tires and balance- $60
4. Replace flexible pipe- $120
5. Replace R/F outer C.V boot- $140
6. Replace engine valve cover gasket- $56

Ok, that doesn't seem to bad. Only 2 things I'd say was a little high is the labor on the CV Boot and the trans fluid change. But honestly, everything looks fine, so I wouldn't worry.

[Venom_5]

maybe they mean "resurface" the rotors, not "realign"?
prolly wouldnt go back to that shop if it were me though

prices seem reasonable however - DIY woulda saved u a bunch of money, i couldnt imagine paying someone nearly $60 to replace the VCG after ive done it myself

[toyomoho]

Overall OK, looks reasonable for the work done.

[Zviator]

Half of the cost went into new tires and brakes, no wonder ...

Not bad at all. I've seen Sears charge a lady $45 for an oil change, top off fluids, and new wiper blades.
