Paying AMS a visit for the first time :)

I'll be checking you guys out pretty soon. I've been modding my Lancer since I got it in Feb. 2003 and have been going to other local shops around my place to get stuff done. To be honest, I've only heard about you guys recently over the summer when I got a chance to meet Omar and his turbo'ed OZ monster. I bet you guys are familiar with him. I've heard only good reviews so far about your place and with specializing in Mitsubishi's, I wish i knew about you guys sooner.

As soon as I get my pads and rotors I will call in and stop by probably in beginning of November to get them installed. Hope to see you soon .

-Ralph

Just got off the phone with you guys. I believe Mike quoted me $225 for labor to install the rotors & pads. That sound about right ? I just wanted to make sure cuz it seems a bit high.

We can do it for $200 in labor for all four corners.

$225 is only 3.3 hours in labor at $68 an hour but I will cut you a bigger break and bring it down to $200.00 plus shop supplies

Even if a dealer charges you 1 hour per axle, that will be over $200 dollars. They probibly go on a similar if not the same labor quote system that we do. Most likely you'd be out $300+.

Ah, so your just getting front brakes? That will be alot less then yes. You should give Eric or Micah a call again at the shop and clarify, Im pretty sure they were thinking it had 4 wheel disk and you were having both sets installed.

AMS u guys are awesome~!
I just got my brakes and oil change done there. I am very satisfied with their work and I recommend anyone in the chi-town area to get their stuff done there. Hell, I recommend people from Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin to make the trip there too, .

My first time there was great. I think I found my all-time shop to go to .

we use Mitsubishi Filters only. Royal Purple Oil and the total with labor and parts would be $57
