    Thanks for the replies. His posted labor rate is $80.00 and I thought the time charged for each job was reasonable.

    It looks like a decent price to me. That's a lot of work for $475 (plus parts).

    The labor rate is usually the make of brake price point. Considering the rate for the job was around $80 an hour that was a big help to keep the cost reasonable. Parts pricing appear to be slight more than retail which is expected. I'd say keep going back.
