I was fortunate to have a mechanic next door to my shop for the last 25 years. Really knows his stuff and reasonably priced, weeks to get your stuff in the door. I have learned what to stay far away from and what is great. Toys Hondas Subaroos are long lasting vehicles, had a Prious with 386,000 miles with engine miss (original batteries) turns out a frayed injector wire, still getting up. If you want a car that will eat you alive buy a Range Rover, cam sensor was 5 grand and took a month to get! He will tell you ANY domestic new car is junk right now. I had to buy a SnapOn scanner box to keep my 2015 SRT out of the dealers shop with all the codes that keep coming up (31,000 miles) out of warranty. Codes started the month after that. Tell me that’s not programmed into the computer. As far as the brake job costing big $$, anytime going to ANY dealer will cost big. Hook up to their machine is a flat $175, then $125 an hour and triple $ for parts. Buy something to stay away from them.
