Default Can someone in or around houston replace my rotors and pads?

I need to replace my rotors and pads... BAD... I can get the parts, all I need is someone to take my current rotors and pads off, and put my new ones on. Naturally, I'd pay you. If anyone is interested, let me know how much you would charge. Oh, and the car is a '99 T/A.

That really is an easy easy job. Any reason you don't want to do it yourself?

I would take that offer up! it would be a good way for you to pop your cherry and get working on your car!!! Brake jobs alone can save you some major $$$ in a life time and there easy.

If it is the first time working on a car, its not a job to be afraid of. If you feel more comfortable with a friend, then go ahead and get someone with some experience to help.

The job really is no harder than changing the oil. Its just a little more time consuming.

I'm not in houston area, but replacing brakes is easy, especially if you're replacing the rotors and not turning them.

even if you do turn the rotors, its still a piece of cake. O'Really will turn the rotors for like 7 bucks lol. doing pretty much anything to a car other than diagnoses is so much easyer and strait forward than most people think. hell pullin the tranny aint even that hard
