Dealership or aftermarket places for brake job?

[wgtoys]

If you aren't going to use a dealer, find a good local independent shop you can get to know and trust. Stay far, far away from the chain stores.

Often you can find a Japanese car independent specialist, mostly filled with ex-dealership mechanics who wanted to run their own show. Good shops of that type are generally your best bet.

Or, learn to do it yourself ... that's my method!

I have never seen an auto repair shop that specializes in Japanese cars here in Florida. Maybe it is because they are extremely common?

I've been researching and looking up info. on brake jobs myself and found that it is pretty simple once i get the hang of things. It's just that the streets around my house and my parking space aren't flat level surfaces for jackstands(my parking space is uphill)and the garage is packed (my parents used it as a storage place

). Time seems to be a factor and I dont think i have any other secure places to do this job. Thanks for the concern. The rotors seem ok but the pads are thinning down.


I've done two brake jobs outside. No kidding.
