Brake jobs at the dealership are pure gravy, better than robbing a bank. The mark-up for labor and parts are 200-300% The poor tech gets $45 for the job, look what the dealer gets for his two hour labor charge!!

Drilling rotors on a car serves no purpose other than to weaken the rotors leading to cracks (bad), likely shorten pad life (bad) and remove mass from what is essentially a heat sink (also bad).
Slotting on the other hand -can- serve a useful purpose for race/track applications, but will shorten pad life on the street without providing any benefit.
Do a search, there's a bunch of previous threads discussing this.

Damn, must go to the stealer within the next month or so for some new front brakes. Quoted today by Nalley Lexus in Atlanta $280 for the front low dust pads for a IS 350 with greasing and turning rotor service.
I can purchase these pads from Carson Lexus for $89 but all the service charge is an *** rip. Are there any other options?
