HI GUYS, I AM GETTING MY BRAKES DONE TODAY AT MIDAS. I NEEDED SOME FEEDBACK FROM ANYONE THAT GOT THIS DONE FROM THEM. I WENT THERE YES'DAY AND THE GUY TOLD ME $120.00 FOR ALL FOUR WHEELS AND LIFETIME WARRANTY WHICH MEANS I DONT NEED TO PAY FOR THE PADS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IF I WANT THEM REPLACED, I JUST PAY FOR THE LABOR WHICH IS $20 BUCKS CUZ THEY HAVE SOME SPECIAL DEAL GOING ON. PLEASE REPLY IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR SERVICE.

the only problem with going there is the pad they use are usually crap. if you do any hard driving, I would suggest supplying your own pads or taking it to a different mechanic that will use your own pads.

also, brakes are VERY easy to do.. at least the fronts are. remove the wheel, and it's 1 bolt and a c-clamp on each side. takes about 5-10 minutes per wheel.

the rears are a little more difficult, but it's not too hard.

I changed all 4 corners and replaced my lines with stainless lines in under an hour.

lemme know if you feel comfortable with doing your own brake work, and I'll give you instructions.

I made the mistake of getting Midas pads about a year ago. . . The pads are crap, they squeal, and the stock pads that came off my car with almost 85K on them still stopped the car better than the Midas brakes do. . . I don't plan on keeping them any longer than I have to, and will probably go with a higher performance pad next time. I just didn't know I had better options when I got them, as it was before I found this site.

The brake pads are really hard, so that they can offer a "lifetime" guarantee, so they will make a lot of grinding and squealing noises.

i went in there and asked about stuff before.. lets just say customer service isnt their best feature.. couple that with a "lifetime warranty" .. and you got big PITA tryin to get yer warranty.

theres also a few horror storys about midas floatin around, do a search? but then, most companies have horror stories..
