Brake rotor, pads, flush estimated cost
Anybody have an estimate for brake rotor rotation, replacing the pads, and flushing the lines? I saw a few threds on how-to, but don't think I'm quite ready to tackle that yet. Thanks!

What kind of pads you going with? They can vary from $20 to $200 a set. That will affect your estimate. Also going to vary where you go, you can probably go to one of those crappy chains like Meineke and get it done for $75 but a dealer will charge you $300-400 easy. So in other words, who knows 
Changing pads and rotors is really quite easy, I would say it's the next step after your changing your oil. Food for thought

It's so easy! You need to take the wheels off, and all you need after that is a 15mm wrench, a 16mm wrench, a 21mm socket and 1/2" drive ratchet, and a C clamp or some big *** pliers! I swapped pads last night on all 4 rotors, including time to jack the car up, put it on jackstands and remove and replace tires (with hand tools, no air tools here!) in just under an hour and a half.
Jacking the car up and taking the wheel off is the hardest part.
