My plan moving forward is replace tires in Jan and in February at state inspection time slip the "free" ($45) one at dealer of purchase and pay my trusty independent who will tell me about brakes and not force a $680 job.
I was mostly just curious on the way jobs are billed which Critic answered. If brakes need work my Indy($75/hr) albeit Subaru specialist will likely do work for between $300-$400 for rotors/pads. He generally machines them though.
I can do brakes with help but my neighbor with lift/tools and radiant heated garage(!) floor slab is away for winter.
