Brakes problem
1999 Dodge Ram Engine Size unknown Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 152505 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am the trustee for a handicapped child. The trust has a bill to replace front brake rotor and bearings and repack. parts are $249 and labor $262.50.

The bill to replace blown bulbs and replace shorted relay for dome lights is $26 for parts and $225 for labor.

Do these labor charges seem reasonable?

well its certainly a lot more than i would charge but its within what shops are charging. once they give you a quote on a job and you accept, its really up to you to get estimates or second opinions before accepting their recommendations. on the electrical repair, if thats what they actually did, seems more than fair. hope this helps
