everyone charges too much for brake work, change the pads in your garage and take the rotors to pep boys or some place similar and have them turned (resurfaced)

Damn you lucky if you get to resurface your rotors. I had to replace mine.

if you too lazy yo go to pep boys... you have to take your car somewhere to get the brakes changed, how do you expect to do that? Not many brake shops come to you (at least not without charging for it)

got mines done at TheShop in San Bruno. $50 per axle. They did a pretty good job and quick too. No squeaks or anything.

Check out Bob over at Auto-Tech Engine Rebuilders in Pleasanton. I think he is open on Mon-Fri, but he does great work. Him and his son do all of the repairs and they have been in business for over 15-20 years.
Give him a call at 925-426-5326 and tell him James from AMSOIL sent you.
