[mcfly]

I thought you guys might be interested in doing a bbk so i got some prices.

these are for a slr mclaren 722s

Two front rotors are a mere 38783.36
Two sets of front pads are 5868.8

Two rear rotors are 35909.44

i'll stop there

Cheaper than that at Lordco..

[Wolfattak]

They should make a special episode of the price is right. Call it "the price is high"


"and you guessed an oil and filter change at $78 the actual retail price is.... $14 782.76"

I always wonder what the flat rate is for the mechanic who does insane jobs like that... A normal persons brake job pays around 1.4 - 2 hrs

[mcfly]

All i know is merc has slr specific techs

[CDGuy]

I wonder... will Canadian Tire sell munroe versions of these at a cheaper cost???

I highly doubt a 4 point brake job, with rotors, pads and bleeding bills out at 1.4-2 hours. We don't even charge that little for a motorcycle brake job.

That would not be for all 4 corners. Just front or back so 3-4 hours depending on the vehicle.

lol
id wear them out once
then after market swap.
forget that junk
I cant see how they would be any better than some really great after market products for substantially less.

So, the smart money would just to be sell it buy an R35 with the savings and spank the sucker that bought your 722?!

I know the techs at my work that are certified to work on the SLRs don't get paid anymore than usual. They spend a lot more time on them though and usually check over everything no matter what its in for. There was one 722 that came in that I remember, sounds/looks nice but not worth the money, like almost all mercedes.

Correct!

Wow... seriously that sucks. If I'm gonna work to get my certification to work on the creme-de-la-creme of super cars the least I'd expect would be 5-10% higher than the flat rate. Everyone at our shop gets paid by the hour though, so I tend to double check everything. We're allowed to take our time, but my boss hates comebacks no matter what the reason. If I don't consciously remember torquing or cleaning anything, I check again
