My brakes are totally shot! I need to get them fixed this weekend but do not know of any decent mechanics in the central OC area (i.e., HB, Newport, Orange) I don't want to get ripped off. :(
THANK YOU!! :D

Yes but they are ALWAYS busy tricking out their friends rides and crap. They would need my car for a whole weekend just to fit it in. I just want to pull up somewhere and get it done!

Hey after reading your post I saw that you said they are shot do you mean metal to metal or just a light scraping noise. If your rotors are shot I need to know what kinda rig you are driving so I can give you a accurate quote

That is actually a very good price right there. I trust that quote is for the front and back with rotors being turned?
Hopefully if it is your 1st or 2nd break job on the car you will have enough rotor left to have it turned. That is if you haven't waited too long and taken the rotor down too far. If that is the case, be prepared, it will be $$$. :( Make sure that you do PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE on the car. Little $ upfront will save you a lot of $ on the back end!!!

THey sound AWFUL! The dealer told me a few weeks ago that they were on their sensors and that I needed them changed ASAP. I had a friend who is a mechanic (Ryan) take apart my car to check it out. He said they were fine.....I want another opinion!! :sqeyes:

Most rotors on new cars are practically designed to only last for one set of brakes. Every car I do it seems like they are out of spec and need to be replaced. Of course, the prices have come way down on a set of new rotors, but it still seems like a waste.
