The Ticket
This one is short, so the story is short. A 2022 X3. The owner wanted rear brakes.
Two lines. Pads and labor. That is it.

Labor
One hour, $125.

$201.99 before tax.
Why Ceramic Pads
Ceramic pads are what most people want on a car like an X3. They are quiet. They make less dark dust on the wheels than many other pads.
They cost a bit more than the cheapest pads. On this job the set was $76.99.
Pads Only, or Pads and Rotors?
This ticket was pads only. No rotors.
That is fine when the rotors are still thick enough and not warped or deeply scored. A tech checks that with the wheels off. If the rotors are worn out, new pads on old rotors will not last and may not stop well.
If you are not sure which you need, read our post on brake pads vs rotors.
One Hour of Labor
Rear pads on most cars are not a long job. Wheels off, caliper off, old pads out, new pads in, everything back together and tested.
On this X3 it was billed as one hour at $125. We put the hours on the quote so you know what you are paying for. Every line on our tickets comes out of Shop Desk, the software we built for our own shop.
