my car sucks and i need new brakes, how much is it going to cost?
 
i basically ignored the problem forever, they were grinding for like 3 weeks. now they dont work at all. i had to use the e brake to stop my car on the way home from where i was.

what is this going to cost me? like 1k?

lol i just went through this seriously

1k definitely not mang. probably $400-500 for new rotors pads and hardware + labor.

edit: assuming it's just the front brakes

i know that but UB takes too [censored] long to ship checks and i just started making millions.

it's weird, $50 3-weeks ago > $500 now.

i'm a moron.

also wtf does it mean that jamming my brake pedal literally does nothing to stop my car?

calipers could be at their limits, so can't press together anymore.. uhm.. broken rotors.. no brake fluid, brake line bad.

yeah i just checked the brake fluid reservoir and there doesn't seem to be anything in there.

i did just destroy the life, accidentally of course, of some rodent the other day. maybe that [censored] clipped the line and compounded my existing brake issue.

hrm.

this is going to cost a lot.

and lol, aren't new calipers the most expensive part? i probably need to get a new set of those too.
