Rear Brakes (Need Insight)

[Ghostly Echo]

I got my oil change done today at ford and i knew this was coming my rear brakes are dying out they priced me at $180.00 for the job.

Is this a good price for this job first time doing the brakes on this car since i bought it back in 08 car has 34k miles right now.

What are they going to do for the 180.00.I just checked Autozone and rear pads are 27.00 to 65.00.
You could do it yourself and save some cash

what pads are the puting on at dealer ford original pads or motor craft pads

hawk pads are great they go for $69.99 or less shop around

If Gregg has the tool, it makes sense since you can get the hawk pads like nycitaliano9 said for the front and the rear for pretty close to the same price.
