Anything mystical about XK8 brakes?
My wife's 2006 XK8 front brakes were squealing something terrible so we took it to our local dealer in Carlsbad. (Our first Jag so that's why we decided to take it to a dealer.). Just bought it couple months ago, no warranty and I don't work on this type of stuff.
Anyhow, the rotors were worn thin and pads were toast. Cost us $700 w/ tax for new rotors and pads, which I see from posts is about average?
Question? Could any brake place have done it? Can they get factory parts or is that even necessary?
Thanks for any comments and Merry Christmas!!

$700 for front barkes as follows:
$210 labor
$98 pads
$355 rotors
$9 stop squeal
$37 tax
Next time I'll get someone to help me. I checked prices on Internet. Pads were about the same. Could have saved $100 on rotors. Labor is what sucks.
