Where to get brakes fixed

ArialsixBlack

Hi so I need to find a place other than sears to change my brakes out as they need service. I would like to get good pads and rotors but not sure where to go, is there nation wide brand store I can go to? Does Sears work?

do it yourself and save money. there's a writeup that's walk through with pics.
You can get discounted brembo rotors from tirerack... (cheapest i've found) unless you plan to turn the rotors on your existing car. Pads - i just went stock.
Total cost was around $200. Labor = $0
Took me an hour to swap out fronts with new rotors/pads.

just need:
jack
jackstands
14mm
17mm
c-clamp ($8-10 at an autoparts store)
12mm for the brakeline (made things easier for me)

Brakes

Thanks Runyun for the email, I worked on drum brakes before years ago, I might just go ahead and change mine own out again.
