You willin to pay $900 for some brake work????
Stop bein weak and get your hands dirty. It aint that hard son, its prolly on you tube.
Ill never understad how a man doesnt know how to do basic mechanic work on a vehicle. Even without a father in life. Some men just act like females.
If you do this work yourself, you will save a grip of money. You wont have any choice but to complete your task once you start and it isnt difficult.
anybody got any ideals on motor mounts on a mitsubishi eclipse price wise?
For the love of everything these !!!!!You willin to pay $900 for some brake work????

Preach on brotha
i cant help but smh at todays youth, quick to take a selfie for attention but have no ****** clue on how to work a hammer or drill. if you know how to turn a wrench clockwise and counter clockwise, you can change brake pads boy. same goes for the homie that needs to change his cat converter.
if either of you two live around seattle, holla at me. ill only charge you half of what your mechanic quoted.
OP, slide the mechanic that awesome jawesome for a discount.
Dude, fyi brakes need to be changed every so often. It doesn't mean you should consider buying a new car. $900 for a brake job on a non-luxury car is INSANE. All you need is front brakes. Go to your nearest auto parts store and purchase rotors and pads. Then go on craigslist and search the automotive services section for someone who does brakes. Why get rid of a car that doesn't have any mechanical (engine, transmission) issues with it. Lastly, don't EVER go back to that shop that quoted you 900.
edit: did a quick search on cost for parts, should run 75ish for parts (2 rotors and pads), then another 50ish should cover labor
In the same boat. Need to get the catalyst converter fixed and that would run me about a rack.
So obviously cars ain't my thing. Let me try to give y'all as much info as I can.
The estimate I got was from Christian Brothers Automotive. I know it's a chain so might me pricey, but I'm new in the city and haven't scouted around.
Labor alone is about $380
For the Brakes
Pad Kit $80
Disc Brake Rotor $151 (75 x 2)
Rear shoes $90
Wheel Cylinder $75 (37 x 2)
Brake System Flush $95
I might look into a DIY project and see if I stand a chance.
Brake flush gets all the air out if the brake lines so you can fully utilize the brake fluid for stopping.In the same boat. Need to get the catalyst converter fixed and that would run me about a rack.

Yea they trying to get you . I saw that when I saw the brake system flush haha never heard of that and really it doesn't even make sense
You don't need rotors unless you brakes are grinding into them. I never got rotors replace except one time because brakes grinding into rotor . I do my own brakes
The mechanics make money off the parts. They got wholesale pricing so they probably making another $350 of those parts alone
You don't need rear brakes unless they are grinding into the rotor. Over 75% of your stopping power is through the front brakes. Rear brakes is just for reverse basically
But yea go on Craig's list and find a mechanic. When I had a older car I got all my. Takes down for less then $100
^ for real
I guess you both miss the post where I said I work on my own car and brakes.Brake flush gets all the air out if the brake lines so you can fully utilize the brake fluid for stopping.
The rest of this is .....
Yes you do need to get all the .....look I gotta be at work at 3 later on today we'll settle this then.^ for real

Never once did a brake flush and a brake flush is NOT for getting air out the line,in fact you will put air in the brake system doing a flush , then you have to purge the air out as I described below
A brake flush does NOT get air out the line. It sounds good but your both wrong
You do not need to get air out the line when you do a brake change unless your brakenfkuid was low or something or if you had a leak
Even then there is a cable on the calipers that you can turn then you have somebody pump the brakes to purge the air out
Then again you don't need to do a brake fluid change it get air out of the line unless you had a leak, changed a brake hose or had low brake fluid
Other then that it is complety unnecessary

Should try to link up w a tech from local dealership.
After my first visit, got talking with the tech who mentioned he does work on the side at his house/garage
Never went back to dealership, did great work for very cheape and he used his emp discount on any parts. I paid way less than half the dealership price and he still made well over double considering the time it took. Win-win. Those dealer techs get weak wages and apparently not treated very well either

Even then there is a valve near the brake fluid container or on the calipers that you can turn then you have somebody pump the brakes to purge the air then they hold the brakes down as the other person retighten the valve. This way air doesn't get sucked back in
Brake fluid change is a waste of money and complety unnecessary 99% of the time
