Brought in a 99 sunfire for first pad change,,,,,guy put in ceramic PADS and new rotors and handed me a 400 dollar BILL. Do these cars come from factory with ceramic pads and is this charge reasonable?? thanks

Re: ceramic brake pads and new rotors
no that charge isn't reasonable it cost me $40 cdn for pads and $40 cdn for 2 rotors but thats Napa products. They don't come with ceramic brake pads i don't think anyway

Ceramic pads are just a way for them to get money from you.....I would never allow them to put that crap on my car, stick with the old faithful pads and rotors....much cheaper.

Re: ceramic brake pads and new rotors
the rotors are junk on these cars it takes about 6 months for them to warp. in my opinion ceramic pads are more wear resistant that gm pads and that means they'll probably warp the rotors even quicker. did the shop service the rear brakes too??
the book charges 1.8hrs r&r front(i think) and .6hrs service& adjust rears. maybe $120 parts so technically you might've not gotten ripped off but it's increadibly easy to do brake jobs on these cars. actually takes about .5hrs front and .4hrs service rear. do it yourself next time.
