Tell me if this was a fair deal?

I just got my brakes done on my 05 Sti suby...I had 52,234 miles on og pads and rotors. My guy charged me 1200 flat for Power Slot Rotors front and rear with Stoptech pads front and rear...bleed the brakes and slightly surfaced new rotors, greased my rear shocks for clunking, and oil change with syn blend...all parts and labor...I know the parts were a little pricey but I want him to make a little paper. Plus should I ask for my old rotors back too. Comments please?

no problem as of yet, but can the old rotors still be used or would they get wrapped real quick?

STI brake pads are probably about 300 for the set of front and rears. rotors are probably around 250 for the fronts and 200 for the rear. powerslot isnt the best brand but its at least a known brand. as far as getting ripped off goes, it seems like a fair price for everything he did. And for the old rotors, if they were already warped, you would need to measure the run out to determine if its still able to resurface and if its over the minimum thickess.
