Brakes and Rotars 2008 328i BMW	Sign In

I have 2008 328i BMW I had to have it towed to a shop bc it wasn't starting. It is starting now the shop is still trying to figure out what is wrong.
They called to and said i needed new brakes ASAP on the front and would have to replace the rotars too. They said that the rear could wait a month or two. If I did both the front and rear it would be $1200.00. If I do just the front then it would be $750. My question is are they being fair or ripping me off?

Any feedback would be helpful

Thanks

Yep, sure sounds like they are.

Rotors are generally changed with pads on a BMW but the price sounds about double what it should be.

I don't think your stupid, especially when you have a pair of scissors in your hand.
