I live in South Jersey (Atlantic City). I was looking at some rotors + pads online. I need a good reputable shop to put 'em in. I refuse to go to pepboys or meineke etc. All they ever did was f'ed up my cars (prev. cars). I can't take my car to dealers because a. they are waaaaaaaaay overpriced. b. they will only use their oem parts meaning no upgrade. I don't mind driving up to 50 miles from my area.... I need a shop that knows what their doing and if they specialize in z, that'll be excellent.

Thanks in advance.

 

MRC baby

 

Where is that shop located?



A.K

 

They're in Spotswood, right by Englishtown aka raceway park. I've gone there a few times to get some work done. They're more than qualified to do a set of brakes for you.

But if you like getting your hands dirty there's a Z/G car club in West Berlin that has a shop.

 

MRC for rotors and pads? that is totally not worth it for him.



It's really not hard to do yourself if you have any mechanical knowledge, hell it's not much harder than changing a tire, its only a few more bolts.



there's write ups on how to do it floating around here somewhere.

 

Thanks. The thing is that I am really not good with mechanical stuff and I am really busy. I get 6 hours of sleep a day, that's how busy I am. Also, it's a bit chilly out here, so I rather just pay to get it done.

what's the name of the shop in berlin or address? is it a good shop?

If a member here (who knows what he/she is doing) want to do it for a little extra cash, that's more than fine with me. I live in Atlantic city, NJ.


Thanks

 

Going to be about 50 miles from you, but you can go to my regular shop. Independently owned, by an ex Infiniti Master Tech and his #1 tech is a Nissan guy too. They did most of the mechanical work on my car and all my regular maintenance.

i actually know of this place... and yes they are reputable. but it might really be out of your way and is quite far from AC, for a simple brake and rotor job. I suggest just going to a local mechanic. Youll save TIME and Gas

 

brakes are brakes for the most part. if you can find a good general mechanic they can help you out.

 

Do you know if they do good job on replacing clutch and flywheel?

 

I dont know actually. For something like a clutch or flywheel, id rather go to a Transmission Specialist. I heard of a good place on Blackwood-Clementon Road, Blackwood. Its right in front of the High School if your familiar with the area.

 

I know that area what's it called? Have you had your clutch replace before?

 

Blackwood Transmission I think?

 

I called them they quoted me $400 for labor to install clutch/flywheel. Is this a good price?

 

my cousin and my buddy decided to change the brakes on my cousin's maxima.. some hair brained scheme by my cousin they decided to drain all the brake fluid first.. too bad i caught them right after they had done it.. so i changed his pads .. did some bleeding then told him to drive slowly and carefully to the brake shop to have them finish it up.. because i hate bleeding brakes

you would be suprised how a little knowledge is dangerous..

 

$400-$500 is the norm, depending if there is no TT with Wastegates in the way, or any machine work needed lik on the Tilton clutch and flywheel combo.
However if you go to the dealer, youll pay 3 times that..

 

Yes, that is a good price for a Pro Shop. You will pay the same amount if you go to a regular Mechanic Shop and half of them are idiots.

 

Some pro shops are idiots too FYI...

 

dont be nitpicky with price...if you haven't done it or dont have time to learn...have someone that works on Z's all day do it...go mrc

 

I hate to bring up an old topic, but topic seems useful.. I have to get my condenser replaced and i have been searching in this forum to get a good spot near south jersey(near Cherry Hill) area.. Van Meter Auto Repair would be a good spot for this job, or would you recommend somewhere else?
