$603.00 front brake job Toyota of Hollywood.

Are you implying that someone who can change brake pads is a lower income individual...

 

Cmon man @MESO a motherfuckin gazillionare from this site alone. give him his smoke

And the truth is, people that have money to pay for $600 brake jobs didn’t get that money by paying people $600 for brake jobs.

 

I don’t make much and I blow most of my money because I don’t even know if I’ll wake up or see the sunset tomorrow. And yolo!!!!

 

He didn't install his LT kit and 37's.

 

Not if you do enough drugs.

 

Tell that to Keith Richards

 

Most depressing shit I’ve ever seen was doing some work at a retirement home for what I guess you’d call poor people...absolutely miserable existence.

 

Damn those good genes.

 

Says the man ending a sentence with a preposition.....Woah! you really parted my hair Champ!

 

This thread is going places

 

Think about it more. It’ll come to you.

 

It’s going about where it should...being so full of lies and deceit

 

Y’all have to remember. Drum brakes on your six. Clean and adjust every 10k and give the star wheel a few clicks until you hear drag. Rotors last a lot longer that way.

 

I wasn't even being facetious. Just genuinely curious. There's always something to learn.

 

Fuck. 15 pages already? Probably way late to this party.

 

You know who always says that? People who don’t live here and drive f150s

Seriously bro, the last time I saw you post you were getting the hammer.
Tells me enough about your opinions.

While not my Toyota, my daughter's 03 Bug started making some horrible noises while braking, local Les Schwab quoted me $1070 for all four corners including new pads, rotors and their new/remanufactured calipers. Really not sure why they felt new calipers were needed...

$205 in parts from Napa, and $120 for shop time at Stew's Self Service garage and I'd replaced rotors and pads on all four corners, and did the oil while it was up in the air. I figure in total I saved myself roughly $800 for 2.5 hours of work, and learned how to do something I can use on the truck or my van in the future.

 

OK, here goes. I work for myself. I can work anytime and any amount of time. The money I make working is larger than the cost to pay for a brake job. So I lose money doing my own work. Not sure I explained that well. Haha. Put it this way, my hourly income is larger than a shop charges hourly for mechanic work.

For the record, I do my own maintenance even though it cost me more, cause I prefer it.

 

Some people like working on their trucks, some take pride in it, some don't care and just pay whatever bill is handed to them, and some just don't like working on their truck. Not sure why some people don't understand that...
