always do your own maint..
why would you pay that much for a brake job when it costs $75 for the parts? 2 hours if that of your own time youll know its done right..

another reason i ALWAYS do my own shit is because i re lube and clean the slider pins for the caliper brackets. doing that and making sure your boots are good as well will save you in the long run. and always use high temp grease on your sht. anyhtng with heat index preferable over 750 is just fine. unless you live in the mid west usa where temps can reach 120+ average id try for some higher shit.

if your ech is taking 2.5 hours to do 4 brakes than he aint worth paying the labor for. everying they use is pneumatic air... its not like they are using a hand help ratchet unscrewing every bolt lug nut etc. 30 min tops for front end.

unless your getting into dually setups. i would consider taking it to mechanic if your unsure.
