Looks like it must have been the stuck caliper MX suggested.? I have a copy of the invoice...

Part Description
F Disc Brake Rotor, quantity: 2, $185
Disc Pads, quantity: 1, $70
Brake Fluid, quantity: 1, $3
Brake Clean, quantity: 1, $4
Brake Lubricant, quantity 1, $3

Labor Description
Replace front disc pads, clean and service caliper sliders, $104

Hazardous materials: $1


So, they replaced one disc pad and both rotors and cleaned the caliper slider.? Total came out to $395.? I feel shafted :o

Well I probably could have changed the pads myself, greased up the caliper myself and install new rotors.  Or sand them.

why didn't you?

I wasn't home when the mechanic called with the diagnosis.  Whoever answered gave him the green light.

Brake pads anyone? Could be a peice of turkey too...

[Raza]

$400 is around how much it was for me to get two new rotors, pads, and calipers.  

[giant_mtb]

One time the brake pads were worn out on my brother's Explorer...it was just metal that was braking on the front...and my parents didn't listen to me when I told them he shouldn't be driving it.  Then when they had to pay for new pads and rotors, they reluctantly agreed with me.
