What would you expect to pay a dealer to replace front and rear pads and rotors on a 2010 XFR?

 

It will vary by region and by dealer, but this is commonly in the 2,000 dollar range, at least until you negotiate a little if they know you.

 

OK, my quote was $2,300 and I needed a reality check!

 

Plenty of replacement kits on Fleabay for way less than OEM price, just buy a kit and take the parts into your local brake shop and have them fit them, will cost you less than half what the dealer quoted. You can also get better pads than the stock incredibly dusty ones.
Only two "traps" to be aware of - you need a 9mm hex bit for the front caliper pins, and the rear brake pistons must be would in (with a tool) not pressed in.

 

Yes my local Jaguar indie was way cheaper than the dealer even with Jaguar OEM parts...

 

I sense that this is a trick question.

Chances of a car needing four new rotors and four new sets of pads all at the same time are pretty slim.

Chances that anybody here would actually pay a dealer full retail price to do this are even more slim.

 

I was quoted $1500 for my old Xtype so that seems about right. I miss the Platinum Service they offered a few years back. I got the rotors and pads replaced on my old 2011 XF under warranty. I think they are offering Platinum Service again on the 2016 and up models.

 

Measure the thickness of the rotors. Jag seems to just say to replace them at every pad change. But there is a spec for replacement thickness and easy to measure (or have your indy or dealer do it). Could save a lot of money

Also pad wear indicator is a bit crude - mine came on with 4mm or so of pad left which in my mind is pretty wasteful to change at that point so I ran mine a bit longer before changing them out (several thousand miles in fact). Still has 2mm left when I changed them

 

Although not an XF-R, I replaced the pads and rotors on my '09 XK a year and a half ago. 4 Beck Arnley rotors, and Powerstop ceramic pads were purchased through Rock Auto Parts for $400.....

 

Well, there's no trick and THIS forum member will be picking up my car with 4 new rotors and pads today for $2300, plus $217 for Tire Pressure Monitor sensor. I do have a 15% off coupon though

The dealer and Jaguar has been very good to me and I'd be a jerk to take the car elsewhere for service now - even though I could save a few sheckles.

 

Picked it up today - right around $2K for front and rear rotors and pads and another $150 for Tire Pressure monitor sensor.

 

I can understand wanting to have it done at your dealer after they helped you through your engine replacement.

 

Wow I'm around $800CAD for centric high carbon rotors and powerstop or even posi quiet ceramic pads (both axles).

Just did the rear axle a few weeks ago and I was out about $380 all in (parts through rock auto and just over an hour labour at my mechanic)

its for a 4.2L 09 XF though.

 

Leadfoot4 - How do you like the Powerstop ceramic pads?

Thanks

 

mine only has 9000 miles on it so no need yet... but i did my 550 i BMW all four corners for $500 in my garage

 

I'm very happy with them. I made certain to "bed-in" the pads and rotors when I first installed them, and the lack of brake dust is a God send. Our XF is driven year round, from hot summer days to sub-zero nights, and they work just fine.

 

Just did pads, rotors, pad sensor wires and brake fluid flush for $830.00. Used centric pads & rotors and got the parts from rock auto $480 shipped, the rest was my mechanic's labor. this was on a 2012 XF. I got Jaguar rotors once and they were $600 for only the 2 front rotors and they warpped within 20,000 miles.

 

And the dealers want $2000 + what am I missing here?
I guess that must be Flat Rate prices
I do not see this as a complex job, just a bread and butter for the dealer

 

I would love to switch to ceramic the dust drives me nuts. Impossible to keep the wheels clean for more than a day.

 

so, in addition to the brake replacement cost.

my question is what BRAND should i look for? I will probably have to do this soon.
