Can you blame them, mang?

What year and model and to what extent is that 'brake job?'

05 Cavalier, turn the rotors and drums and new pads and shoes.

That's a totally different animal than replacing 4 rotors at $250+ a
piece (OEM GM) of a latter day Malibu.
Make some calls... a complete remake of the brake system GM Malibu vs
Ford Fusion.
GM is screwing us now...started after the bail out.

I have to ask, why replace everything. Do that on an 05 Cavaleir and
you inflate the price to probably $800.

FWIW GM has always been screwing the consumers by turning out a marginal
to bad product. Speaking from an ex service sales manager, parts
department manager, multi franchise parts director, wholesale GM of AC
Delco parts distributor point of view.

GM has had some especially stinkers, the Olds Aurora had composite disks
that had to be replaced if slightly grooved or damaged, I suspect that
they might be doing the same on late models again but if the rotors were
in good shape there was no need to replace them during a routine brake job.
