Default LR3 Brakes & Rotors North Atlanta?

My 2005 LR3 has 60,000 miles on it and will need brakes and rotors soon. Where is an inexpensive place in North Atlanta (Cherokee/Cobb) where I can get them replaced? I would rather not blow $1,500 at the dealer. Thanks.

Any indy shop can do it. It is just brakes easy to do.

UPDATE: We decided to go with Kennesaw Auto Center in Cobb County due to referral from a friend. I must say they are honest because instead of nailing us for back rotors (like 2 other scumbag companies quoted), they just ended up turning them. It costs us $725 for:

front pads
front rotors
back pads
back rotors turned
new sensors for all
brake line flush

Not cheap, but better than going to the dealer. I will let you know if we have any trouble with them.

Next time your pads get low, just do it yourself....paid $50 for a set of pads (all 4 wheels) and changed them in about 45 minutes myself. IF you need rotors, NAPA is a great place to get em.

I think that the next time, I will give it a shot myself. I have always thought that it was difficult to do because whenever I strayed from the dealer for a brake job (Disco Series II and BMW 325I) I had to get the dealer to redo the entire job because the indy's screwed them up. This is the first time I strayed from the dealer to do a brake job in many years and was pleasantly suprised. We just got back from vacation and no problems at all.

+1

we did front brakes/rotors via Napa and while it took a bit to get the parts in (week), it cost $229 with tax, 2 hours of time and a six-pack of cold ones.

I got all four rotors, four pads, and 2 wear sensors from Atlantic British for $350.00 Then had them installed locally for $220.00... I was too busy to do it myself this time... but I usually do my own work...

grand total of $570.00
