Man, today was a busy day for me today at the auto hobby shop. I spent about four hours there today making things right. First, I replaced the rear brake rotors and pads. Then I changed my oil, changed the tranny fluid and filter, and finally, I flushed out the coolant system. All in all, everything was worth it. The temp gauge used to move just above half while sitting in traffic on a hot day. After all this, it didn't even budge past half way. Oh, the brakes are awesome now. With the RSM slotted rotors put on previously, Pep Boys replacement rears and Performance Friction brake pads all around, the car brakes like a whole different car. No vibration from warped rotors and no brake fade, that's awesome. All in all it was money well spent...Let's see, just how much did I spend on the things I did today?
Brake rotors-$60
Brake pads-$40
oil and filter-$12
tranny fluid and filter kit-$32
various costs at auto shop-$45
total-$189, far, far cheaper than I would have paid for someone to do it, and with the pride that you have knowing you did all the work yourself.
