New brakes on a 08 Accord with 27K miles???
I am fuming! I just picked up my 2008 Honda Accord from the dealership and
they stuck me with a $476.00 brake job bill..........
The reason I took it in is because I was getting a "screeching" noise while
I was driving down the road - not braking, but driving, not all the time,
just intermittent. Sometimes, not all the time, when braking I would also
get this noise. It started on Friday and I took it in this morning (Friday).
This car only has 27, 000 miles on it. they told me the rear brakes were
completely shot and the front brakes were about half - they suggested I have
the rotors turned and $476.00 later, I picked up the car. I told the
dealership I wanted to see the old parts and was shocked..........the new
brakes looked new and the rear brakes looked like they had 100k miles on
them.
they told me to expect to change brake pads every 30k miles............this
is unbelievable - only getting 30K miles (actually 27K) on a set of brakes.
does this sound reasonable to anyone?? I think I have an issue with the rear
brakes, but can't prove it - has anyone heard of Honda having an issue?
Please Help!
Thank You
Dale
