Default Brakes where to get them done???

I need new front brake pads for my D. Any advice on where to go, Dealer or Midas, etc... I live in the western burbs of Chicago, if any of you know of a trust worthy mechanic. I have only lived in the area for a short time.

Thanks

I have gotten mine done at Midas and they were great. There is a lifetime warranty on their pads so the next time you need them done the pads are free they only charge for labor (around $60 and you can go into any Midas no matter where you are with your paperwork). I would also like to add that our braking capabilities in these D's leaves a lot to be desired so now would be a good time for you to upgrade to ceramic pads they are a little bit more $ but very worth it with better stopping distance and there is no brake fade. These things do not squeak like OEM pads either. I got mine done in NY (parts are $$$ here compared to other places) for $160 and am very happy.

Midas is good. Defiantly go with the ceramic pads.
