So, time to get honest, what did you pay and who's pads did they use, also, did they do a full brake flush?

Having it done at a run of the mill national chain brake/muffler/suspension shop with their lifetime warranty pads, I'd say $4-500 per axle.
Which is a HUGE rip off, you can do the job yourself for $200 and a hours work with basic hand tools.

If it was a brake shop you will never find out what brand of parts they used, they will tell you NAPA or "our brand".
$317 isn't bad, but you could have done it yourself and gotten a lifetime warranty on the brake pads for less.

$317 isn't a terrible price for paying someone else to do the work, plus a fluid flush.

For what it's worth, you can get pads and rear rotors for $83 with shipping, so spending an afternoon on your brakes would have saved you $230.

Doing the brakes on a DII is so easy it's a crime to charge anyone.
Literally 2 bolts and a single screw on each side.
But peace of mind is priceless.

Next time let us walk you thru doing this sort of work. If you had done this, you could have installed Akebona Ceramic pads and an average set of rotors along with brake fluid, which it sound like they didn't do, for $150.
