Hey guys, I went around calling places to install Hawk Pro pads, and everyone keeps having all these different charges. Does anyone know of a good mechanic in the orlando area that will do it for less than $100. I think I could do it myself, but this would be the first time working with brakes, and Im not sure if I can trust myself doing the brakes alone. Let me know if anyone here knows someone in Orlando that can do them. Thanks

Many places will do a complete brake job for $100. I'm not sure if your talking about the front or the rear brakes, but the hardest part of this whole job is jacking up the car. If you have some basic metric tools and some jack stands, you could do this in about an hour. There is probably a how-to over on 6tech or maybe a sticky on this forum....

Tip: Loosen the brake resevoir cap to make it easier to press the caliper in. (re-tighten when done... )

I think you mean the "brake fluid reservoir cap" ... just to be a little more specific

The "Just Brakes" place here does a good job from what I've heard.

I'd say do it yourself though. You'll save your money and learn how to change your brakes. Easy stuff.

I'm going to send this topic over to the SouthEast section, where the Orlando guys hang out....
