Cost for first brake job (OEM sport package brakes)?

The price paid will vary greatly depending on labor rate and the speed at which the shop can complete the work (this is dependent on the skill/familiarity of the shop

If the pads have not been worn down to metal on metal or the rotors have been warped. You should be able to turn the rotors and still be within the specs. I highly recommend sevicing the fluid. This is probably one of the most neglected fluids on most cars on the road today. People think that they can keep driving as long as their is fluid in it (regardless of the fluid's condition).

Right on Dustin@Z1, thanks for the detailed info.

Anyone paid to get their brakes serviced yet (Nissan Sport Brakes)? The idea of this thread is to get an idea of what people have been paying for the brake jobs they get done from shops or dealerships so we can have an idea of what to expect to pay.

Post your milage and whether you track your car or not, and how much you paid to get your brakes serviced (and what service was done exactly- front/back pads, rotors resurfaced/replaced, etc)

Shop/Dealer-
Milage when brakes needed servicing-
Track your car? yes/no
Front/rear/both pads replaced-
Rotors resurfaced/replace-
Final cost- $$
