5 /5 Christopher Williams: These guys are the best. I heard some squeaking in my front brakes. I know enough about cars to know that the squeaking was lite enough and early enough that I just needed front brake pads. I had a coupon so I took it over to midas. Big freaking mistake. They said I needed new pads and rotors and quoted me at 540 with my coupon. I explained Im not an idiot and Im not paying for it, just change the pads. They said they couldnt do it because of heat spots on my rotors.
I told them to give me my damned car back.
On my way home I saw Henrys Auto, and said "what the heck, lets give it a shot."
I asked them how much and it was going to be and they said,140 to change my brakes, if I had my part. At first I was like "ah, man, I have to go get the part" but hey you save money if you buy the part. I rolled down to OREILLYS and bought the high end ceramic brake pads for 63 dollars and went back.
The mechanic did it in 20 minutes and showed me that the brakes still had some wear left and I caught it in time. He then said there were no heat spots on my rotors and midas was trying to rip me off. Not surprised.
I saved three hundred dollars and didnt get things done that didnt need done and they got me in and out on a Friday morning.
Ill be going here from now on.
