het guys. today when i went to get my oli change they told me i am ok for now but sometime soon i will need front brakes on my 2006 is350. the lady said it cost $300 something with taxes/fees/labor. is it ok if i went to a local brake auto store like pep boys or something for cheaper? or do i have to use lexus brakes?

buy brakes at sewell and DIY ....around $60

Yeah, first find out the measurement. Pads are good down to 1 mm.

Then, if you claim you need new rotors too, ask why, because you almost certainly do not.

New pads (the low dust TSIB pads) were about $65 from Sewell last I checked and are pretty easy to swap yourself.

I would DIY. As mentioned the OEM bads cam be purchased from Sewell for around $60 or there are quite a few non OEM solutions. The swap is pretty easy there is a thread with the directions in the FAQ thread.

I'd agree with both above. Order the brakes and do them when you got the whole day off and invite a buddy to help you. It isn't that hard. Try a DIY. After you finish, youll ask yourself how they can charge $300.

brake changing is a breeze...and it'll save you a ton too!

how do i change them myself? i dont know the first step lol. i dont think i have a jack to lift my car up. isnt there a chance i can mess up the tire sensors if i do it?

Rears are $65, the fronts are over $100.

They apparently went up recently.

The high-dust fronts are still $65, but the low dust ones (which were similar in price) are now listed at $106.56

However, the same price is listed, crossed out, as the "full" price above it, so this might be an error on the Sewell website too.


Anyway, for the poster who asked how to do it-

No error as far as I can tell. The prices have been the same for a number of months now. Be mindful, the IS250 and IS350 brakes are different. Please do not confuse the two.
