10 years ago South Oak Dodge hit my ex with a bill for $600 for replacing shoes and drums on her 2010 Caliber. Labor alone was $300.
She took it in because one shoe squeaked against the backing plate when you put the brakes on. When she got it back it still squeaked.
Yeah I think some of the labor amounts are ridiculous. On my Cummins the fuel filter change was almost $400. Shop fees, epa fee and of course tax.. I was out of town and my wife got the service. Parts were $129. I've done this ever since. It takes my 30 minutes (I move slow) and the parts are $96. I use wix filters vs the Mopar ones. Just can't believe they charge that much such a simple job. Just glad I'm able to do most of the work on it.
