It's not a hard thing to do yourself. You can buy the brakes, the non squeak, bleeding kit, and a book on your car for a fraction of the cost. If you want to go this route, let me know. I wouldn't mind helping you out.

If your able ... to work around my schedule, I'd be happy to show you how to do it, in my driveway.

Run by Autozone, buy the midgrade pads (original replica material) and PM me... we'll get'er done! A 12pack of Pepsi would do it for me.

Hey Brad- It's not much harder than changing a tire. Do a search on youtube and you'll be surprised. If it's only pads, you won't have to worry about bleeding your system. Amazon has some pretty good prices on pads too.

I was a senior tech at Mazda if u don't turn those rotors when u change the pads good
Chance u will get a vibration or possibly pulsation . Napa turns rotors or u can buy another one
Keep the other one and have them turn it for the next pad replacements ..

My ASE in brakes lapsed last year. But I'll do them for you if you'd like B I only charge 12pack good beer (stone,Sierra)

I always recommend new rotors unless it's an older car (new cars don't make rotors thick enough to turn much) unless you don't mind the bumpy pedal ;)

+1 on resurfacing the rotors!..if you attemp this feat tomorrow I can get them resurfaced for you hella cheap!..Like maybe a 32 of mgd highlife?!..but I'm in santee so that's a bit of ways from you. Or if you like we can use my shop and I can show you how to get it done as well.I have 5 lifts and all tools imaginable..
