I need some guesstimate on how many hr the shop need to do the following job.
Rear brake
-replace drum/shoe/bearing
-replace cylinda
-replace brake line
front brake
-replace brake line
top up fuild.
My guess is 4hr max?
Season I am asking is the shop used to go quoting me 1 full day of work and I KNOW they're trying to rip me off.

I think you're a bit low on your hours only because once they pull off brake lines aren't you looking at having to bleed all the lines to get the air outta 'em? :huh:
In fact depending on the last time you did it, I would think that a brake system flush would be almost mandatory...

I think your looking 4 hours just to do the brakes, then for the lines to replace them and bleed at least another 2 hours. Thats my guess...

All depends if the shop charges flat rate hour or not.ÃÂ If its flat rate the charge is by the book.ÃÂ Have you ever had your drums serviced or taken apart before?ÃÂ The nut that holds them on is supposed to be replaced after taking it off three times I think it is.

After a bit of shop around a shop I used to go quoting me $320 which I think is fair.
FYI, the rear shoes lasted 8yr and 260k km, not bad if you ask me.

that's an awesome amount of time.. glad you caught them in time so you can schedule and shop around rather than be forced into a repair.
