Question -
Volvo S70, 1999.
I just took my Volvo to the shop and the guy said my brakes are down to "5 percent" and need to be replaced. What does this mean? He said it would cost $650. Is that a reasonable price?

Answer -
Alexis, No, Its not reasonable at all, he is ripping you off.  If anything what is to be replaced is brake pads and perhaps rotors.  All 4 wheels or just the fronts?  5 percent meaning that there isnt much pad material left.  Do you have the estimate in front of you on what he would be replacing?  Let me know.  Roger

Answer
Alexis, These are all approximate prices that Im giving you.  since there are 4 mounts on that car, I would need to know which one he is talking about.  Rear Rotors and pads should only be around $350 parts and labor.  Fuel service isnt necessary. Tires vary on price so that is about $250.00 The serpentine belt is expensive so that is about $130. Spark plugs are about 75-80 bucks.  The front engine mount is around 150.  Was this a Volvo Tech or some Joe's Garage?  Remember that all these are approximate prices.  If you want I can get you an accurate price so you can compare.  Roger
