This morning I had both rear rotors replaced and new Wagner TQ pads installed for a total cost of $169.00. The rotors had an Auto Xtra ProStop label. Does that price seem reasonable to you?
Depending on the car it seems cheap to me.

The brake work was done on my daily driver which is a Toyota Tundra truck.

I thought it was reasonable but it has been so long since I had any brake work done on a daily driver that I can't remember what I paid.
That's cheap then. When I last worked retail brakes were 2 hours plus parts. The tire store I worked a bazillion years ago was flat $169.00 for pads and turning the rotors and they paid the tech a whopping .8hrs.
About $35 for the Wagner ThermoQuiet ceramic pads and $80 for the pair of rotors.
$169 seems like a very good price if it included those parts, labor, tax, shop supplies, tree-hugger fees etc...

$169 for pads and rotors?, that's cheap. Up here in the Twin Cities you will pay almost $350 for that at most shops. A std. brake job at the Hyundai shop I worked at is over $285. I used to do them at home all the time for $250, had more work than I could handle.

The $169 was the total price. That price included everything (parts, labor, tax, shop supplies, tree - hugger fees etc.).

I had the brake work performed at a tire and appliance store owned by a man I went to school with since we were in 9th grade. His wife and I have been friends since 1st grade. I think this is why I get reasonable prices from him on tires and appliances.
