Knowledge GREATLY appreciated on the "reasonable cost" to get Brakes & rotors turned on a Range/Land Rover

Question

My divorced w/ children girlfriend has some issues with her newer model Land Rover mostly with squeaky brakes with a bit of shimmy when stopping.. When she called the mechanic, he diagnosed it as an issue with brake replacement an/or/both the rotors as well.
He quoted her a cost of 1,000 to 1,200 to fix it. This seems like more than highway robbery, since new brakes and turning rotors together would cost around $200.00 for a standard car.
His claim is the Land Rovers is a very discriminative SUV. It requires factory parts or it will cause all types of other issues such as warning check engine lights going off and also providing poor road performance. Even if this is true, the price still seems really high. I strongly think that he is taking advantage of her because of her single status.
I would be very APPRECIATIVE to hear from anyone who has knowledge on Rover Repair costs. I will forward your advice on to her.
Thank you for your help!

A BIG thank you to Paul H! I tried to send you an appreciation email. Unfortunately, you have restricted email access and I couldnt contact you personally. I hope you both check back to see this!

Answer 1

Factory Land Rover parts are sky high because they are shipped from England and it seems most dealers don't want to stock hardly anything so they have to overnight just about everything---very poor parts chain. I priced plugs and wires for one at 350.00--ridiculous. Dealer people and other techs seem to think if you've got one of them, you must have a mattress full of money or something. I would call around to parts stores and get price quotes on pads and rotors and then shop some other garages to quote the parts and labor to see how much they charge and whether they use aftermarket or factory parts. Good thing to bear in mind when car shopping is how much are repair costs for normal wear items between brands and figure that into your cost of ownership---most people don't bother and then are shocked by some repairs when it's too late.

It relies upon on the persons Vera. What they decide for,who they're,and the place they are stepping into existence. definite meant to be's will consistently be the affection is genuine besides steadfast. They carry directly to one yet another no count the pains and tribulations,those relationships are uncommon. They actual develop into component to you with out theory to it,it purely is,for sure. partitions are created via negativity,interference of others,vulnerable minds,yada,yada,yada,many could properly be healed,with love,some won't be able to yet actual love makes the attempt and in no way we could flow. besides whilst there is to plenty resistance the guy is saying it is not precise for me,and existence is going on. they don't look to be the single for you,they have not got what you look for to heal you nor destroy down the partitions. maybe the two have themes that decide for resolving.
