| shopping around for B-R-A-K-E job
my sht beater needs new breaks, all 4 of coners (rotors drums pads etc..)
Midas quoted me $880(including labour) before tax.
I was wondering if I should try different places
If Midas' price is on par with else where, I'll just do it there since it's right next to my house
edit: BRAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can probably get it done for a negotiable price around 600 or slightly less by independent shops.

I did rear drums, shoes, front rotors and pads before. One side always takes more than twice as long as the other side the first time 
IMO, DIY this. You save a shit load and you learn something | |

disk breaks are alot easier to do than drums incase your wandering lol
If you can do an oil change, change a flat tire, and have some basic hand tools, and a jack + stands, you can do this.
Google for enthusiasts websites for your car model, and 99% chance there will be a step by step walk through for beginners. Even if you don't have the basic tools, for the amount of $$$ you'll waste in labour you're better off investing in tools so you can do other work in the future!

high performance discs and pads aren't really for the street. better off going oem spec.
