Do you really need rotors? What is spec and what was measured? Miles on car?
As The Critic mentioned those complete Honda prices are not realistic.

Exactly. It was just the section of things they sell.Not unless there's damage but I'm 100% confident that @JHZR2 wasn't suggesting they do, he was just showing a screenshot that included pads and rotors. All those other bits were in between. It even shows the caliper piston....
No I just took a screen shot of all the brake parts for sale from an OE Honda parts discounter. The pads were at the top and the rotor at the bottom.thats assuming they buy all those items and not simply clean and reuse the hardware.
On that note, I would ask both shops whether they are planning to reuse old hardware, pad slap, rotor resurface etc.
these days aftermarket parts are producing duds, and if you are not diying this job, good luck getting any mechanic to redo the job for free.Spend the money and buy / install quality parts.
Brakes are something I don’t want to skimp on with cheap parts.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying this or having that opinion. How many people call an HVAC tech and say "I bought a new furnace, sheet metal, and a bunch of parts. When can you install it ?" ? If a shop/mechanic will install your parts, it's great, but no one should ever, ever expect any warranty or help afterwards. Pay 'em to install the parts and it's done. Again, if they are willing to help, be grateful.i dislike saying this, but id rather just pay a local mechanic for their own parts, if any problems its their issue not mine.
Amen.Is making the time to DIY an option?

I ended up paying $750 for my neon for a local shop but I'm in Colorado where apparently everyone overcharges. The shop that I've previously used and were fair wanted $1375.2013 Honda Pilot needs front pads and rotors. I would usually DIY but don't have the time right now.
I got quotes from two places:
- An indy Honda specialty shop: $577 with all Honda parts. They did my timing belt last year and did a good job. They are 30 miles away, though, which kind of stinks.
- Indy shop right behind my house: $430 using Wagner parts. Have used this shop before for other stuff and they do good work.
What do you guys think of these prices?
My dad actually did that with the brand new furnace my parents purchased. Unfortunately there is no warranty from the installer. But it did save my parents $8,000.There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying this or having that opinion.

Do it right and do it once.by the time you drive there and back , you could probly pad slap one side , i would pad slap it and find the time latter on if more is needed
