Where to get brake work done?
I need new pads and rotors on the rear. The parking break doesn't work at all. When i pull it up it doesn't lock the rear calipers. I think it is because the pads are almost totally gone and the rotors are screwed. I can hear them hanging up and it is starting to **** me off. I went to get an estimate and midas says $300 to get stock rotors and whatever **** pads they have. I want to put on zimmerman rotors and Hawk pads but can't find a place that will do it for me with MY parts. The rotors are $40 a peice and the pads are $60 or $70. They want like $70 a pecie for the stock rotors. Anyone have experience on where to go to get my parts installed? That way all have to pay is their labor.

Re: Do you know a euro-car indy shop in your area? Try them
I have two Indy shops by me. I'm almost possitve they are not "euro" though. I went there to get a fuel system flush and they said they couldn't do it because they didn't want to touch the vacuum lines. They pointed me to the dealer. I will give them a call a little later. If they say they cand do it i neeed the pads, rotors and what else for them to complete the job?

It's going to be tough to find any shop these days that will let you bring...
in your own parts. They make a lot of profit on parts markup.
Are you handy with a wrench at all? This is an ideal job for a do-it-yourselfer to save some cash. Replacing pads and rotors isn't too difficult.
