Yeah,

Work being done at European motors in Catonsville Maryland. Maybe do the brakes myself next time but don't have time or inclination now. So original question stands. Reasonable price from a garage?

If it's only the brakes + rotors job, no it's not reasonable.
But I assume it includes other stuffs as well: spark plugs, filters, oil change...?

Still un-reasonable
Maybe including all above + Water Pump, AOS, Low temp thermostat, Brake and Coolant flush

A DIYer could buy all above and still do the clutch for $3k

We need the facts - What all was done for $3k???

Agree, all filters run for less than $100

Without knowing what work is being done, no one can answer your question.

Agree. Unless the 90k service / etc. is a lot of work that amount sounds high. I had pads and rotors all around for about $1600 this year I think. Rotors are brembo I believe not sure on pads but I know the shop uses quality stuff. This is for a 2003 s too so brakes are a bit bigger than non s.
