Pittsburgh PA , 2 months ago i bought a 2011 black civic coupe . love it . thing is i didnt buy it at a honda dealership but i bought the honda warranty and i am running into problems with my front brakes, obviously being that it was not looked over by a Honda cert mech . After 2k miles already, i am getting the squeaky brakes and i know what that means.......probably need new ones . I have changed older late 90s to mid 2000s GM brakes but im kinda leary about screwing up DIY brakes with only 15K miles on the car and throwing the warranty in the trash. so my question is two parts. OEM brakes - a) how much is it average to get a front brake change at a Honda dealer service center. b) seeing other post on how easy it is to change the pads and rotars ...... if needed, should i risk DIY change with the car under warranty. any imput would be appreciated...

How many miles on the car?

I have no idea what stop-and-go traffic is like where you live. Could be brutal for all I know.
If that were here, I'd expect the person delivered pizza if the brakes were worn out in that many miles. Most average people here have brakes last well past 30k even if they are in-town only drivers.

Pull the wheel off of the noisy corner and look at the brakes before you do anything rash, like buying a set of brakes.

It may have nothing to do with worn brakes at all.
A simple rock stuck in a brake can make a whole lot of scary noises.


(Under warranty, see a dealer first. See what they say. I know I have done brake jobs under the 3/36 warranty before.)
