Changing brake pads and rotors - dealership?

[Nadia]

Does anyone get them changed at the dealership? If not, I'm assuming you use aftermarket pads and rotors? I went to 3 places and they couldnt tell me the what kind of pads and rotors they use..except one (wegler?). Another guy told me just to trust him(sure dude) and use whatever ceramic he uses. I'm not doing ceramic.

I have a co-worker who was quoted by Infiniti $900 to change the front rotors, turn the rear and all new pads!! He ended up at Tire Kingdom for a fraction of that.However, it is a leased car and he is suppose to turn it in this month for his G37.

I would get a few quotes. I can't believe the shops don't know who makes their pads....I would keep looking.

Was it Wagner pads??

Oh..that's what it was ..Wagner..is that good? I thought he said Wegler. At the other place the lady didnt know much english and couldnt understand what I was asking her so I gave up.

Wagner makes OEM stuff. The tire place that I go to uses them.Should be fine.

I'll probably change my own when they need it, so I haven't checked into different brands yet.

When I replaced the pads on my cobra, I went with FORD replacement pads and they weren't cheap. Seems the front pads were around $100 and the rears were $80??? I would imagine Infiniti ain't cheap either.

Oh, forgot to mention.Infiniti was going to replace my co-worker's front rotors.Tire Kingdom just turned them instead.

Sometimes I don't even have them turned when I do my brakes, depends on how they look.
