I took my car to the neighborhood mechanic... His prices have always been decent. He did some brake work and I asked to do an oil change while he had it.. His prices went up.. He charged me $90 to do an oil change.. He did the back brakes...New rotors and pads and one of the calipers went bad and that brake job was $700.
I don't drive this car much and the last time I had it changed it cost around $50 at speedy.

I was trying to save time and took mine to Firestone to get done while I got a new tire, they quoted me more than double that. Nevermind. I can do it myself.

I was quoted around 1300 for a brake job on my F-150 about a year ago.
I ordered a complete set of power stop rotors and brakes online and went on youtube and watched a how to video. It took me about three hours to do it in my driveway and the brake kit was around 400 dollars.
My truck is high enough off the ground where I don't need ramps to change my oil. It takes me longer to get the tools out than it does to actually change the oil.

Depending on the vehicle the parts cost about $200. Depending on the vehicle it takes at most 2 hours. I do several neighbors brakes for free - they buy the parts and we install them in my driveway. It saves them several hundred bucks and gives us a chance to get to know one another.
My wife has a damned Mini. BMW gets $1400 an axle to do brakes. The parts cost me a total of $80 to do all 4 wheels. It takes about 3 hours, 30 minutes of which is hunting the tools and probably 15 minutes each wheel to break the tiny screw that holds the rotor on the axle until the lug nuts are installed. That damn screw is always a pain in the arse on all vehicles. I make a decent living, not wealthy but comfortable. I don't mind saving $2320 for 3 hours work....$770 an hour ain't a bad lick....
