Default Reputable shops in the Greater Houston area to replace rear rotors and pads? 2011 GS

As the title states.

I went to Christian Brothers and they quoted me $1100 to replace rear rotors and pads with OEM stuff. They want $460 for the OEM AC Delco pads....I can order them for $260.

This car is new to me but the price seems quite high for that kind of work. If its about right then please let me know.

Thanks for any help!

Can't go wrong with Frank's or VZAutoworks. I'm very fortunate to be 15 mins away from both.

Replace rear rotors and pads?

Do it yourself. It takes longer to prep the car (jacking up, clean up calipers, etc) than perform the actual rotor and pad swap.

Contact Cameron Brown in Parts at Classic Chevrolet in Sugarland (not Houston) for the best price on the rotors and go with aftermarket ceramic pads for no more squeal and much less dust.

Another for VZ or Frank's. Hope you're close to one or the other, but even if you're not I'd recommend them.

Never, ever, take a Corvette to a "we work on everything" shop!
