A light came on my ’07 Boxster saying that the brake pad detector was activated and I neeed to get my brakes checked. So I took it to the dealer today who looked at it and said I needed two front brake pads. Two hours later I got the car back with new brake pads in front and a bill for $756. I would estimate that this is no less than 8 times more expensive than comparable repairs in a normal American car. But then again it is not.
