hello,
I am looking to buy new rotors and brake pads on all four wheels. which rotors should I buy? cross-drilled? cryogenic? or original oem rotors? what about brake pads? My local midas didn't even have pads for my car! How much should I pay in labor to have rotors and pads install? I can buy my own parts and pay someone to install them since most brake places don't carry the rotors nor pads. thanks, will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I wouldn't take my granddaughter's old tricycle to Midas for brakes. Or a muffler, or anything else on their ever expanding list of services. Their work is crap, their parts are crap, and they don't know what they're doing. Oh, and they tell you things that just aren't true. IMO, ALL the chain stores are like that. This is an industry where most of the store managers are personal acquaintances of their state attorney general, and it's NOT because they're golfing buddies. Other than that, they are fine.
See the listers in our marketplace, or whatever it's called. The Cap'n |
