So I've looked through the "Best Places to go for" thread and I couldn't really pin-point the best place to go to have my brake pads replaced.

I just bought some Project-MU brake pads (Front and Rear) and I need to know where I should go to have the rotors resurfaced and have the brake pads put on. Anyone know of any places that do solid work with a good price? Any ideas on what I'll probably be spending to have this done?

I'm also out in McKinney, so if there's a place close to here or one that is open on the weekends, that would be the best.

there's many people on the forum that will do the pads locally cheap, the rotors re surfaced, i cant help with, but i would assume any brake place.

autozone or orielly's will resurface rotors for cheap if they can be. I get all my work done at Outperformance shop in Grand Prairie though I live in plano. Very cheap and great work.

ya if you are comfortable putting your pads on yourself you can take it to most parts stores or shops and get the rotors turned.

JH, there are DYI instructions on this forum. brakes are really easy to replace if you have the right tools. The tools aren't specialized tools either. If you do replace them yourself. Keep in mind that there is an order to bleed your brakes if you decide to bleed.

It takes me about an hour to replace (not resurface) pads on all 4 wheels. Dealership may charge you two hours minimum. Places like autozone or oreillys normally charge about $7 per rotor to turn them.

I have the Project Mu NS pads and love them!
