I didn't do it yet.

I got the quote, and then noped out of there real quick.

I'm taking this to my independent shop. and I'm going to check for rotor warping with a dial caliper.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Overhead at the dealer is huge, they charge a lot and people pay. If you don't want to pay...take it somewhere else.

if you can't feel it when braking, then they're not warped. also, rotors don't get warped, they just get surface buildup of material or damage from worn out pads and so the surface imperfections of the rotors have to be smoothed out, but they're never warped.
