Hi Guys,

I have Mazda 3 GX 2016 model currently at around 55,000 Kms. I have been told by Mazda that I would need Rear Break Pads and Rotors replaced. They quoted me around $585 before tax, another dealer quoted around $640 before tax. Apparently, the quote includes 2.5 hours of service @ $150 per hour which is around $375.

Can I do this somewhere else cheaply and safely. Should I use genuine Mazda parts or would OEM workout as good? Is it normal to pay 585 to 640 for only rear pads and rotors?

What is the usual installation charge outside of dealerships and what shop would you recommend in scarborough, markham area?

Thank you for your help.
