where is a good place in Tempe for getting brake pads replaced?


brake pads are super simple. just about anyone can do'em. i'd suggest finding a handy dude with a jack, buy him a 12pk and you're good to go. that will save you a lot more money than taking it in somewhere.

*make sure the 12pk is not imbibed prior to services being rendered.

I am not blessed w/ friends who know how to do stuff like that. Or that would do that for me.




It also could be I am not good asking people to do things for me like that. haha

if i had the time, i totally would. actually, i need to do my girlfriend's here shortly as well. i might be able to do'em at the same time. it's seriously easy enough that you can likely do it yourself. you basically take a tire off. loosen a couple of clips, take the pad out, use a C clamp to push the piston back in, slide the pad in, put the clips back, put the tire back on. unless you have some crazy brake system, that's pretty much the process. i'll let you know when i do my gf's if you still need yours done.

sounds simple - yet when you start talking "car" it becomes increasingly hard to concentrate. haha I noticed this week when I first hit the brakes I get that little teeny squeak noise for a sec, so I figured that is that noise that tells you it's time to change them ???

No its when they squeak even when you are not pressing the brakes.

brakes squeak sometimes as long as there is no grinding you are okay.

There is a small metal piece that is added on brake pads that once they ware down too much the little metal peice will cause a squeaking sound the whole time you are rolling. That is when you need to do something ASAP.

the squeaking is meant to let you know it's about time to do something. but mikey's right, you have time if it's just now squeaking. more than anything, it'll just be a little annoying. but if it's squeaking when you're not applying the break or grinding, like mikey said, ya gotta get on it. mikey, change her brakes already! :P
