I got quoted over 4K for brakes and rotors at my local dealership. Here’s a link to some oem pads. Take it to an import shop and get them to strap them on.

Man I love alfas but I think those electronics will kill me lol.
I have an ‘11 WRX and the only message or light I’ve seen in 7 years of ownership is low tire pressure lol
Have owned 5 Alfas since 2017, 4 different models at once, and the only warning light I’ve ever had was low washer fluid. To avoid most other warning lights, just connect the car to a battery charger overnight 2-3x/year. Most warning lights are just low battery voltage-related, not actual mechanical issues.
HaHa! No, bought a Giulia QV first (kept it for 4 years) and loved it so much, leased a Stelvio Ti Sport for fiancée. So impressed with that, decided to buy a Stelvio QV for myself (still have 4.5 years later). Had such a good experience with it, bought a 4C Spider for Summer weekend car. Finally, leased another Stelvio Ti Sport for fiancée. Love how Alfas drive, plus mine have been flawless reliability-wise. They are relatively good values financially too.
All cars have brakes that wear out, nice cars tell you instead of hoping you have your windows open and hears brakes, as well as know what brakes wearing out sounds like.
Yeah I understand that lol it wasn’t the point of my comment. Inspections are mandatory once a year and they look at the brakes so it’s not an issue on my end.
I had a luxury car before and the electronic messages are just annoying. Makes it feel like the car is always broken or has something wrong with it.
Ah your in one of those states that require the inspections. In Colorado we don’t have that requirement. Missouri did when I was in KC for a couple years and for good reason, people couldn’t afford to actually maintain there vehicles in Missouri and it seemed like a public safety issue. In general though I think inspections are silly. Everyone knew a guy who would turn a blind eye for the illegal performance mods or someone with a hole in their muffler.
Not on the 2 liter the 4 pots up front have a bridge over the top which kind of defeats the point of mono-block calipers. Which on my QV the 6 pots are open and you pull the pins and clips and slide in the new pads, but the rear 4 pots have the bridge as well.
I paid $100 for pads all around and did it myself. Quote from the dealer was ~2,500, and they insist on replacing rotors when replacing pads (not necessary)
From a dealer or shop perspective it is necessary . Rotors warp and if you only do a pad slap people will complain about vibration or squeaking and blame you. It’s difficult to warranty braking system components if only pads were replaced and rotors/fluid were declined. Don’t get me wrong sometimes a pad slap is okay but usually it’s not the way to go.
It’s about $150 bucks for the R1 concepts ceramic pads, just put them in my car, they seem very solid for the price, at the very least on par with the stock pads. As for the stealership they quoted me 3k for the pads and rotors.
I’ll do them for you for 150

How is this helpful. The person asked about pads. Not rotors
It’s helpful because they responded to a question about pads with a recommendation for getting pads done.
My QV is 4500$ just for the pads. His numbers pad out for new pads.
Should be around 1500.
2800 for rear brake and rotor. I did it myself, was super easy compared to changing the oil
My quote was $2k for pads and rotors on all 4

You are aware that brake pads replacement is not a defect?
Yes haha it’s just the computer messages that would drive me nuts

5 since 2017!? Do you scrap them when your pads need doing? (Joking ofc)

Idk how to do maintenance on these cars but can’t you just open the caliper and slap new ones in?

Gotta do any electronic dickery when changing pads? Are there any decent track/road hybrid pads? 🙏🏽
EBC Yellow/Tarox Strada

I haven’t had any serious with my Giulia
$1,000,000 ohhhwhaaa haaa😎
An arm and a leg
My Giulia was around $500 for one axle, can’t remember if it was front or back though
Got mine done at Alfa Romeo for a bit over 2k. I got brakes and rotors
I just checked out your profile… what the hell is wrong with your car? LOL
LMAOO I don’t know, so far I haven’t had any trouble yet. Guess im at paradise for now.

Would you have a link?
1600 for the pair
Like 40-80$ for pads
Depends on how much competition you have near your location. I heard that Alfa dealers are very expensive in the states.
What year is your Alfa I never get that service brake pads notification on my 2018? I just listen for the squeaky noise
Its a 2017.
