What's a "rip off for" this service?

it is doubtful you need new drums. these are very expensive. ask them why they determined you need new drums. is it because they are eccentric (not perfectly round) or grooved? fyi you can bring drums and rotors to autozone and they will resurface them and turn them for you for dirt cheap. voila. look up what the parts cost online. then see how amazed you are when can get them for less than what u can get them for and mark them up 300% above what you can get them for. GET A WRITTEN ESTIMATE! if they say "we'll let ya know after we get it all fixed, dont worry well get ya a good deal" then RUN. by law you are entitled to a written estimate and they must not fluctuate 10% from that estimate, and by law they cannot fix or install anything else without your permission.

if i was doing a break job on your car i would charge between 250 to 300.thats with me getting all the parts.every state is different on there prices.
