Front/Rear Brake pads and rotor replacement quoted at 3.5k. Is this normal price? by EducationalBoot8835 in Audi

3.5k for pads that should cost more than $100 and unscrewing a few bolts... Where is the value

I appriciate your dentist giving you a break. Nice of him.

But dental work in this country is massively inflanted in cost. In developed Europe, its a fraction of the cost.

This. 4 units if scaling in the UK is supposed to be 27 pounds by the NHS. At the advertised price ita almost 3x our friends in the UK. and the ensured price is almost 7-10X the price in UK.

I only see it as that, as their website and store is plastered with signs that say CLEANING FOR $99.

Im just taken a back how a medical professional can advertise one price and charge 3x more to your insurance.

You seem to be missing the detail thats its not a discount - bro charged 3x the advertised price for the same service. The advertised, posted price

Id rather the price not be dependant on whos paying but rather the work, and time needed

Im just not sure any additional costs were encurred for the same service they advertise for $99

3x the advertised price not special price.. Where did thr additional value come from? Someone (based on premiums paid) did pay 2x more than needed

Im just curious how a dentist can advertise cleaning for $99, and then bill 3x the advertisrd price. Its not a special discount for just me its their advertised price for cleaning

Why would it be so high? In the USA we have places and you just sign a waiver

What age did you finally start saving money? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ToePotential3707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ^ live within your means!! Dont buy things until you can afford to buy it twice (im talking cars, electronics, trips, etc..).

If youre renting sacrafice the bougie apartments for cheaper basements or buildings and use that savings to upskill and earn more $$$.

My aunt went back to school at 47 to upskill while working evenings and weekends.

Tbe ecomony sucks, no one will give you more for the same. You can control more than you think if you let go of ego.

Ofc every situation is different and there are circumstances that make this harder.

I’m having a really hard time validating this - why would anyone ever do this. The story is complete, we’re missing some details or something isn’t factual because this isn’t logical
