2003 3.2 TL Rear Brake Pads Replacement

[whather]

I recently went to Acura of Bellevue to get a 75,000 mile service for my 2003 3.2 TL Type S. After servicing the car, this is what they told me:

1. Front motor mount broken - $411 + tax
2. Rear brake pads due for replacement - $149 + tax

I then went to Les Schwab thinking they could do the brake replacement cheaper because they specialize in brakes. However, they said they cannot only replace the pads. They have to do the complete brake service which runs $289 + tax. Is it fine to just replace the brake pads at the Acura dealership or should I spend the extra money to get the full brake service at Les Schwab.

Also, is $411 reasonable for the front motor mount replacement? Any suggestions? Thanks.

According to Alldata, the job requires 0.8 hours labor to perform. The part isn't even that expensive, I'm showing a list price of 118.80. Be sure that for that kind of money, all they're doing is the mount.

There's various schools of thought when it comes to brake pad replacement. Find out from your dealer if that includes rotor resurfacing.

In either event, your dealer knows your car better than Les Schwab. That, and the fact that they are well over $100 less to do the same job makes that decision a no-brainer
