Brake pad question

i just picked up my ride from porsche service, they charged me 4600 for changing the brakes of an 06 cayenne turbo s, to me this sounds pretty pricey, does any one know if this is a fair price to charge?

I hope that was for both front and rear, but that still sounds a bit much!

$4600?!?!?! jeez....thats a bit much....i would think....i could buy a kia for that much.

im going to buy the brakes for my S, i think the front and back set will run me around $450 for the set (list price) and then ill put it in myself

$4600....jeez...unless u meant $460...then thats fair lol

I was quoted $1100 for a front break job from a Porsche dealer. Replaces pads and brake rotors.

Independent Porsche specialist charged me $940 for front pad and rotor replacement and a brake fluid flush.

Dealer should have charged you around $2200 for all four pads/rotors.

keep in mind... his POWERKIT front rotors are $1000+ from the dealer, very expensive.

Cayenne S rotors are $240 and rears are $180. Your front brake job was $400 in parts and $540 in labor.

You're right. I didn't notice that he has a Turbo S.
