Default Noise in reverse - update (2003 Accord EX)

Yes, I got rear pads and rotors replaced (they said rotors needed to be replaced too because they were worn out) and the noise is gone. By the way they charged $460.82 for this job (labor: $129, pads: $83.36, rotors $215.30, hardware kit: $26.91, misc: $6.25). Is this a reasonable amount? This is the first time I brought a car to this repair shop and if this is above typical charge I will go to another store next time. This store is an independent store (not a chain store) and I live in a suburb of Boston. Thank you.

Labor sounds like a good deal. The cost of the pads and rotors seem high. Must be a high end metallic setup.

too much money,,, pads from Honda cost about 60-65 dollars which by the way includes the pads shims,, the hardware kit that they sold you is a rip off,, most brake shop do that to make extra money what was included in the hardware kit ?? labor is ok at $ 129,,,,.rotors are too high as well ,, rotors from Honda cost around 80-83 dollars each
