shopping around for B-R-A-K-E job
 

my sht beater needs new breaks, all 4 of coners (rotors drums pads etc..)
Midas quoted me $880(including labour) before tax.
I was wondering if I should try different places
If Midas' price is on par with else where, I'll just do it there since it's right next to my house


edit: BRAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can probably get it done for a negotiable price around 600 or slightly less by independent shops.

I will not rip OP a new asshole for spelling Brake wrong. I will not rip OP a new asshole for spelling Brake wrong.I will not rip OP a new asshole for spelling Brake wrong.

What is it?

DIY

+1
struggle through the first time.. then you can do it from then on, and charge other people for it :D

^took the words right outa my mouth! you can also search online for tutorials or even youtube it! what kind of car do you have?

*edit:

guessing it's discs up front and drums on the back?

$50, I'll break anything he wants :noob:

I did rear drums, shoes, front rotors and pads before. One side always takes more than twice as long as the other side the first time :)

IMO, DIY this. You save a shit load and you learn something :)

disk breaks are alot easier to do than drums incase your wandering lol

If you can do an oil change, change a flat tire, and have some basic hand tools, and a jack + stands, you can do this.

Google for enthusiasts websites for your car model, and 99% chance there will be a step by step walk through for beginners. Even if you don't have the basic tools, for the amount of $$$ you'll waste in labour you're better off investing in tools so you can do other work in the future!

8bills??? at MIDAS??? a 97 bmw 328's brakes cost 1000 before tax AT THE DEALER.. wow what beater is this?

Just rotors/drums and pads? 880?

What kinda "sht beater" do you have man

^ :haha:

Anybody have recommendations for places to buy brake pads/rotors? Is it better to go for an aftermarket brand as opposed to oem?
Posted via RS Mobile

depends on usage man.
high performance discs and pads aren't really for the street. better off going oem spec.

OP, call up Gearheads :thumbsup:

At least he was asking for a B-R-E-A-K job and not a H-A-N-D job.
