My wife's Montero barely passed state inspection this week due to the brakes. According to the shop, she needs front/rear pads and front rotors. Can anyone recommend a shop that does good brake work?

 

If that's all it needs, you'd save a ton of money if you did it yourself. It's really easy too. A floor jack, ratchet, various sockets or allen wrenches and a 'C' clamp is all you really need.

 

Is the back a drum brake. The front pads and rotor will only take like 20 mins tops on both side. If the rear are drums, then it will take a lil longer if you dont know what your doing. Well, depending on what type of drum it is. The drum would probally take like 30 mins tops if you have no idea on what your doing. You would also need a hammer to tap the shoe off, and a long screw driver to put the spring on. if the rear is caliper, then it will take just as long as the front.

 

yeah if you want it done, I can do it for you. I do car work on the side. Never had an unhappy or unsatisfied customer.

BTW, i've changed so many set of brake pads, theres no way I could ever remember how many lol

Just shoot me a PM if youre interested. thanks

 

yeah same here. i can do it for you and even guide you through it so next tmie you can do it yourself. its really easy

 

Thanks for the offers of assistance. I may take you guys up on it. If the wife will trust my mechanic skills
