I had all 4 brakes inspected, front pads replaced, front rotors machined,
bearings repacked and the hub seals replaced for C$119.00 (US$79.00)
including all parts and labour.  I agree with Craig Standley who said, "I
don't mess with the brakes myself, too important to mess up."  And for the
price I paid it is hard to argue.
