Time to Brag

Please excuse me while I brag about my awesome husband.

The brakes on one of our cars had been intermittently chattering.  Two different shops found two different reasons for the chattering.

After learning more about brakes and the specifics of our car, J diagnosed what was really wrong with the brakes.  He got a quote from the dealer but thought it would be worth his time and effort to fix it himself.  And it was.

Our car now has new rear rotors and brake pads.

Here's the cost savings breakdown.

Dealer quote: $580

Cost of parts: $198 (including $20 for jack stands that will be re-used for future projects)

Savings: $382

And yes, we've since driven the car and it stopped when it was supposed to. 

DIY FTW!
