robbed by dealership
You've just had the same wonderful experience that I had 15 years ago. My first car needed brakes, and I was dumb enough to take it in to a muffler & brake place to have them done.
$450
later, I had brakes, and vowed to never get taken like that again. $450 is a LOT of money to a kid that makes $5 an hour, part time. Heck, it's still more money than I'd want to pay for a basic brake job.
That basically was the kick in the @ss I needed to start learning about cars.

Wow, you could get some nice high brake kits for that and install it yourself. I made the same mistake letting the dealer fix the suspension parts after my accident with the ES.

Brakes are considered a wear item. So they will not be covered. Although I could be wrong. Now as for the e-brake, I couldn't say. Call a different dealership and ask. If this was supposed to be covered, then I would complain.
tisk tisk, get your hands dirty man!!! instead your getting your wallet dirty! rear brakes ~ 20-30 min job depending on how stubborn the rotor is, in that case a 2x4 is the antidote. My father showed me how to do it once, and ive been doin it myself ever since and have saved thousands im sure.

OOO and a few things everyone forgot to mention about doing it yourself, go to Orielly or Autozone and buy the GOOD life time warrenty break pads, spend like 40 or sooo dolloars and never buy them again, do it your self man saves you money for sure.
The pads were adequate for a commuter car but not what I'd call GOOD.
