Finally I decided to replace all front pads and rotors...
Midas asked for $350 for P&L and I made a quote in another garage, they said $220.
The best part is if I take parts there they only charged <$80 for labor, isn't that cool? Huh?

Wanna buy pads&rotors from Autozone, is Duralast a good brand?
Thank you guys.

 

DIY

 

Mission impossible right now[]

 

I replaced my pads and rotors myself. Autozone parts probably cost me less than $70 and it took me less than an hour to do it. The only part out of the ordinary you need is a C clamp to compress the caliper.

 

you consider a c-clamp out of the ordinary ????

 

for a Duralast semi-ceramic pads set, it's only $19.99 in autozone.
Is this a good choice? or a ceramic one?
Does "LLT" mean life long time warranty?
My first time shopping with autozone[sm=feedback.gif][sm=sigh.gif]

You carry a c clamp in your trunks tool box? Maybe my shops tool box but that doesn't do me much when I am not at home!

 

I just pushed on the cylinder with the handle of my 1/2" breaker bar. Not really that much pressure with the cap off the break resv.

Couldn't find a lug nut wrench that would fit in the wheel hole and over the lug nut so I use a 1/2" x 21mm socket on a breaker bar.

 

done with front brake...
$74 for parts and $65 for labor, but still didn't pass safety inpection[&o]
they said flex pipe is cracked which will cost me $225!
God!!!
That much?

 

no i don't carry it in my trunks tool box but i also don't plan on doing pads and rotors on the side of the road. you mean to tell me that your home garage doesn't consist of a c-clamp yet you know how to do a brake job??
