At 200k, I noticed brakes were squealing, on the front. Ordered rotor & pad kit from Amazon (prime so free shipping) the parts total was about $60 which was half of local parts stores. Took less than 1 hour, took 35-40 minutes on first wheel, then took less than 10 on the other wheel once I knew the procedure.
