I bought new tires, brake pads and brake fluid online. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to get the work done? I'm located near BWI Airport.

Thanks

besides the tires, have you thought of trying to do the brakes yourself along with the fluid? We have a DO IT YOURSELF help section that is very useful. The brake job is very easy and i hate to see you throw away cash when you could prolly do it yourself. Just a suggestion. Besides, its cool learn new things and rewarding to work on your own car. i'm just assuming you have tools and some knowledge of mechanics.

If you want to start driving on a race track, you need to learn how to change the pads.

It's really easy with the right tools.

I saw the write up on how to change the pads, and that did not look difficult. I don't think I'd have a problem with that at all. The fluid on the other hand, I noticed people were saying you shouldn't do it if you've never done it before.

I guess I'll give it a shot.

You need a helping hand to bleed the brakes and or a power bleeder.

Oh and be real careful with brake fluid. Instant paint damage.

I just saw the gravity bleed write up and it didn't look too bad actually.

I've never tried the gravity brake fluid change but i usually have a helping hand. I plan on changing my pads soon too... Get some ceramic ones and change the fluid.

But yeah.. you'll be surprised how easy it is to do.

Bill (bighead) is a great source for bleeding your brakes... I actually go to him when I need it done.

That power bleeder, IMHO, is a pain in the ass to use and not worth keeping around. I only do this once a year so it is just more cost effective for me to have Bill do it for me.

That being said, Bill will also take the time to show you how it is done while he is doing it. The whole "teaching you to fish" deal... You can have him teach you so you can do it on your own from then on.

I like my power bleeder.
