Problems and price advice needed

Nissan 2001 Pathfinder diagnosed to need a new fan control amp. at the cost of $348. Is this reasonable? Also, I was told that I need front brakes ASAP at the cost of $450 - that sounded too steep - what is the procedure for brakes to make it so expensive? Isn't that a little over priced?

You have to compare it to something else. That is, can you get an independent mechanic in your area to do it for less? Can you buy the part and DIY? That's the only way to figure out if it's reasonable.

Sounds high, but it depends on what you need for parts. If you need both rotors and calipers then it might not be too bad. OTOH, if you only need pads, it's very steep. I generally find that most places charge too much for brake work as the work is simple and it's mostly plug-n-play these days - they are in and out in an hour. But, you'll need to post more detail on what they estimated replacing and again, perhaps consult another mechanic if you do not DIY.
