damn special car.

I just put all new pads and rotors on my car for a little over 400$. Keep looking around

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

can you do them yourself? I replaced my front pads and rotors myself for a little more than $110.00

 

[NeverSober]

wtf... 360!??!?! It cost me $90 for bobcat pads, and I installed them myself. You can get pads for $75 or so from many vendors on the forum....and I am sure someone from the forums in your area wilol install them for you for free or at a much smaller priuce......or you can buy the pads online and take them to a midas or something like that that does brakes, and they will install them for like $50.

do the brakes yourself. they are really easy to do. I even think there is a how-to in the how-to section. do a search. dont pay $360

 

[Jessy]

well heres the deal...
The guy at the dealership told me that I cant buy the brake pads that are on my car from anywhere but the dealership, which I found true when I called 3 places to find them, and couldnt get them.
Plus.... they have already ordered the brakes AND booked me an appointment for Monday!
what the hell do i do!!!! help!

full of s***. i can sell you mazda brand parts for that car tomorrow for $159 shipped.

 

[AODfan]

if you need OEM Mazda brake pads, contact "Captain KRM P5" aka ProtegeGarage.

 

[AODfan]

Heh beat me to it lol

 

[RyanJayG]

for OEM pads, thats sortof true... but there are several aftermarket options. pm "Captain KRM P5" or just go to www.protegegarage.com and find them yourself

 

[RyanJayG]

dont everyone get the same idea all at once now! lol

Tell them to **** off first.

Then tell them that seeing that you haven't paid for anything, you're not liable for any 'costs' they incurred in ordering the parts. Don't get lambasted by the dealer.

Third, tell them to **** off again.

Do you really want to stay with OEM pads? Why not try something else? But if you really want OEM pads, you should be able to just walk in, order the pads.

Parts and service are separate accounts.

What are they going to do if you don't show up Monday anyway? Break your knees...? gay...

the parts counter will make a solid attempt to rape anyone if they ask for msp brake parts. trust me.

I think that's what I paid to do mine.

It was very expensive but it was the first and last time.

I will rather do them myself next time. At least I can pick the rotors and pads that I want.
