New Brakes & PCV Valve
Hey guys,
I recently purchased a Audi A4 2011 from a dealer. 3 weeks later, my check engine light came on. and there is a whistling sound coming from my engine.
I took it to a mechanic, and he informed me that all 4 brakes are going bad, need a new tire and my PCV valve needs to be replaced. and he's quoting me for $1,300:
$1000 the change all for breaks (idk exactly what he is changing)
$100 for a new tire
$300 for replace PCV valve.
I just want to know if i am getting over charged, I feel like paying $1000 for break is extremely expensive.
Any comments would be helpful!
(A part of me wants to return it. but i remember when i was purchasing the car it was sold as is) I need some advice..
thank you.

All 4 brake rotors and pads: $1000 isn't out of the ordinary.
$100 new tire: that's a cheap tire!
$300 PCV: I think the part is $100, and would take you 15 minutes to swap yourself.
Sounds like typical maintenance for a 5 year old car.
Edit: it's an Audi. This stuff ain't ever going to be Toyota cheap.
