Dealer wanted $1,850 + tax to do the brakes and rotors on my wife's 2015 Audi Q7. My brother in law is a mechanic, and did it for us. Total cost on parts was $500 for stuff from IDParts. He said we owe him a dinner at Eddy V's . I have no problems with that as he saved us a ton of money.
How often do we have to change these? We bought it with 42k miles on it, and we are at 56k miles now. I'm just trying to get a feel if these were originals, or if they may have been changed out already.
It didn't seem super hard to change them, with the right tools that is. If they last 55k miles then that's great, but if they last less then I need to start saving for some tools, lol.
The fronts were super easy to change, but the rears gave him some problems. some of the bolts were locked in place and did not want to budge. He actually had to heat some up in order to get them out.
