shoulda done the coolant flush on your own and saved some money, unless you're getting a good deal and hooked up.

$380 for rear breaks installed and coolant flush.. could have gone to midas for the 'lifetime' breaks, but now I know these are Nissan parts.
100 for the coolant changed didnt kill me

That's 100 you could have spent on ebay for an electric supercharger and an intercooler sound simulator for a 50+ hp dyno proven gain

ouch. . .. where is doing your brakes?

that in my opinion is a rip off badly, and $100 for a coolant flush?? you could have spent $20 for new coolant and flushed it ya self.

but you can afford it so cool, we just know you could have saved a LOT of money.

Damn i would do your brakes for $30 bucks not including parts. I would have done the coolant flust for $20 wow. $380... what what what. I don't even spend that on a tranny job.

Yea $380 is kinda steep for just the rear brakes and flush. I can easily do an entire brake job for under $200, right around $150.

hmm yeah not to knock nissan parts but has anyone here had problems with autozone rear calipers becuase I know those are usually just rebuilt nissan parts. Just hoping next time you can find a place that isnt a dealer and save yourself some cash. But at least you know when it needs to be done. To many people just let those things go until they fail and then have to pay much much more to fix it.
