Hello all. I recently moved to San Antonio and no longer have my good friend nearby who helped me with all my DIY projects. My wife's Cayenne S needs a brake job and even if I was feeling brave enough to do the job myself, my temporary housing situation isn't really set up to facilitate this. Can anyone recommend a good independent in the area? Or give me a general ballpark on what I should expect to pay for all 4 corners?

Thanks all!

I need to replace the pads as well and I'm doing some research. I can not find a DYI for the 2011+ Cayenne. Not like the older Cayenne nor the 997/ 996.
Suncoast sells pads for $260 for front set and $130 rear. Sensors are $43 per set. So $500 in just parts, However, my dealer quoted me $400-500 per wheel. My response was ouch.
The service manager told me it costs to go fast, my response was "that's what my dates tells me too"

Anyway, don't be surprised if even an INDY shop charges you $1-1500.

I just paid $780 to have my Cayenne GTS front brakes done. They told me that they didnt charge me labor because they forgot to give the mechanic the repair order in the morning. I showed up to leave on a business trip at 2pm and they had not touched it. I had to come back 3 hours later and they charged me for the parts for front pads, sensors and rotors, all OEM. It deffinitly costs to go fast. I felt bad for them because they do good work, but I spend quite a bit of money there with 2 Porsches and a Mercedes! I was afaid to ask what it would have cost with labor. I going to do slower stops! The last time I did my C2 it was like $450 for everything at the dealer. That was about 8 years ago.

Give Jones Autowerks a call ,don't know what they would charge, they work on all my older Porsches

I second going to Jones, they have an excellent rep and they do great work. They did my brakes but I brought the pads and rotors to them so it was labor only, couple hundred bucks I think but I can't find my invoice right now.
