Re: My SUV

The rotor should have been re-surfaced for about $15/roto, or if two new ones $35 to $60/rotor
Brake pads $50 to $70 per set of sem-metalic
One hours labor work at say $100/hr.(which is still high way robbery).
It usually tek mi 30min per side, and mi noh use professional power tools.

How many wheels did they do, since yuh original problem was only in the front of the car?

Front only, or front and rear?

but did you factor in the time to do the regular maintenance? Some have some annual maintenance whe fi de amount a work dem do-- since the car had 30K miles I am thinking it was one of the annual maintenance plus brake job?
