need a shop recommendation

[kirks5oh]

my brother's 2008 GC SRT8 needs front/rear brakes. he's not the type to do this on his own :dumb:

 

pretty sure the rotors/calipers are in good shape, truck has 40k-ish miles. stealership quoted him $1900 to do the job. anyone have a recommended shop that will not rape him silly??

 

dipshit at the dealership looked at his car and said "you have aftermarket rotors. all GC SRT8 rotors are slotted"

 

thanks guys

I can do them, as I did mine on my GC SRT8.

 

His best bet is to buy from R1 concept. Great rotors and pads.

 

These brembo brakes leave a bad lip on the outer edge of the rotor. Its better to replace the pads and rotors.

This!

 

PM his contact info and I can shoot him a quote or I can send it directly to you if you prefer.

How many miles does he have? Does he also need new hubs/bearings/wheel sensors? That seems far beyond even stealership prices...

 

where did he take it? You can pm me if you don't want to make it public as my dad has a 13 GC.

A 2013 GC is completely different than a SRT GC. The SRT has brembo brakes and huge rotors. That price from a dealership is normal. 3-400$ a piece for the front rotors. 2-300 for rear.

yeah, wherever he took it, they had a 2013 in the showroom for like $60k:dumb: my brother notified the guy he talked to that obviously the earlier generation had normal non-slotted rotors

 

as much as i love these things, i think i'd stick with the previous generation model.
