Let me correct you. I've worked for both Ford and Firestone/bridgestone(currently) they charge $70 for labor per hour. To get new rear drums and pads it pays a MECHANIC .8 hrs. To me at $12.50 an hour that is $9.00. Therefore the MECHANICS aren't the ones leaving with all the dough in their pockets. ok..poor mechanic's rant off.. ok and that is way too much unless you're doing wheel cylinders, lines, shoes, drums, hardware, and a brake flush.
