Indy shop -- how much to replace pads and fluid?

[drew4392]

How much can I expect my local indy shop to charge for labor to replace pads and fluid? I'm going to a local track for a few hours and want to get these basics done.

Thanks!

I'd say 3 hours @$90 so around 270 labor

Be safe always round up, make that "Three Fiddy" ;) This way you'll feel like you won when the bill is about $250 lol.

Thanks guys. When my shop calls me back tomorrow, want to make sure it's reasonable and similar to what you all have experienced or think is fair.

It's pretty simple to DIY (both) but if your time is worth more ($) then yea figure book time is 3-4hrs. A fellow enthusiast/track guy here @GeoJoe does all this prob in an under hour on the track parking lot before switching to R-tires.

I have a M3 and paid a Porsche tech I found on craigslist to teach me how to do it for $200 in a porsche dealer service bay.

I would go that route if I were you cause its very easy and you won't want to have to go to a shop to do this every time you want to track the car.

Figure to hang pads per axle about 1.0-1.5 hours and then to bleed about 1.0-1.5 hours. So worst case about 4.5 hours and best case 3.0 hours of labor. So if they fall within that range then your good. If its under more of a bonus. But since your in CA I would expect to your labor rate to be around 90-100.

$275 for pad installation and $120 for fluid flush. labor only. Plus $200 track fee... all for about 5 hours and maybe a dozen laps or so. Guess that's the price I have to pay to play. Too nervous to go out with stock pads, even if I only did the fluid.
