      Where is a good place to go to get my brake pads replaced on a 2007 mazda 3? Somewhere reputable with reasonable prices please.

      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
