36k Brake Caliper Service????

[Mr. I - Man]

36k Brake caliper service $139.00 WTF They said if you don't lube the Calipers they will eat up the inner rotor. Truth or Stealership B.S.?? Please advise.

Not sure, my dealership just wanted to do the 1500 dollar 36k fluids services, they didn't say anything about the calipers.

I am a tech at a dealership and this is the first I have herd of 36k caliper lube...It would be a different story if you are having probs with brakes.....

as far as fluid service $1500 seems a little high...we get 350 or so for trans,coolant,brake fluid, and ps. fluid..then all you have for H2 is both diffs and t-case...1.5 hours to do diffs and t-case + fluids...

My local dealership wanted $1500 also. I ended up hiring a local mobile mechanic to do it and it cost just under $300 bucks. It was nice, because I was able to help him to save on the labor... - and I can do it myself now...

Phil, i would guess that the pad is in wrong or crooked. Maybe clipped on wrong ? Have you had the pads replaced or are they origianals? Is it on the outboard side of the rotor ? I assume it is becuase thats the side you can see, the inside is covered with shield. I'm curious what would make them do that if they are installed correctly. Doug
