I remember jacking my Corolla up in a Gardere area apartment parking lot, back in the day, to change my brake pads.

Today I paid almost $200 to have the rear pads changed. Was delighted to do so.

I do almost everything I can except shocks. It's just not worth it to me to do my shocks so I pay for that.



I was thinking about putting shocks on my truck...is it difficult?....

Not many people know that if you buy pads with a lifetime warranty (I get Duralast Gold), you can just keep bringing them into the shop and swap them for new pads free of charge after they wear down. The wear must be normal though... i.e. no uneven wear or something on the vehicle itself causing damage to the pad. In my case, the guys at the store are really good about it especially if I didn't know there was a problem there before. They replace my pads anyway. So a $400 job for free.

A brake job is about $150 at an independent shop.
