Dangerous recommendation probably, but if you are at all technically inclined, you can easily do a brake job yourself. Your first time will probably take you an hour or two per axle, MAX. Once you factor in the drive to the dealer, the wait, the logistical issues of getting rides from other people, you'll probably SAVE time by doing it yourself. Not to mention the $98/hr that my dealer charges. And the satistication of getting your hands covered in grease. :dance:

But yea-- don't go to Midas. Some 17 year old kid is taught to churn out a brake job every hour. And the only thing he's thinking about is the fact that if he finishes your car fast enough, he can go take a cigarette break before starting his next car.
