Hey thank for the offer but I know its pretty simple I done it once myself but dont have anytime to do it myself cause of job and the fact I moving soon. If anything ill try to see if I can make time to do my brakes myself. And did you get all new rotors or did you turn ur old ones? I need to find a place that turn rotors. Can't afford to get new rotors right now.

Why wouldn't you take your car into a shop for maintenance? This is exactly what I want to do.

I haven't pm'd Dan; does he have/work for a shop here in town? I have no qualms about working on cars with individuals but if I'm going to drop off the car and work while I wait, I prefer to go to a place that does this professionally and has a business license.

Any suggestions?

So.. I need to know where I can take the new ride to get smog checked. It's not throwing any codes but does not have the cat anymore.. so of course, any stingy smog place would shut me down.. where do you all take yours?
