Need brakes done

zoostation · Dec 27, 2017

Simple car, 2003 Mustang V6. My regular shopped is booked up for quite a while, longer than I really want to wait. I do some of my own work but will not do brakes. I have new rotors, calipers, and pads, just need them installed and the brake lines flushed and refilled. Located in Harford County. If you do brakes on the side or have a shop and are willing to put my parts on please contact. Located in Harford County. Thx.

eh, you should try it if you already do some work, actually pretty easy and even with buying new rotors it's cheaper than taking it to a shop and just having the rotors resurfaced.

SD Auto in Cronsville does mine. You bring your parts and he will install them.

Dont email or message him. Call his shop at (410) 923-6987.

He is a member here. SRD

I do a lot of things and I could I am sure, I just won't. I've never done them before and I don't want my initial attempt to be on my own working out of a manual. I've done pads but I'm not going beyond that, and I need the calipers replaced too. It's worth a couple hundred bucks to me to have someone else do it.

Thanks Chad. That's a bit of a haul for me though.

One of our members has a shop up across from Harford Community College. Let me see if I can find his screen name and shop.

Youtube is your friend. Check out a video or 2 before you doubt your abilities.

Our esteemed friend SThomas has a shop in down town Silver Spring but that's a haul.

Fork Auto on Harford Rd. He's also a member here and has very reasonable rates.

Faby's Auto Repair on Ellendale Street in Bel Air. Bob Crothers is the most honest man I have ever done business with. He will fix your car, and do it right, for a lot less than any chain shop or dealer. It usually takes about two weeks to get your car into the shop but it is worth the wait. Dave Serio's is a close second. Either one should be a short drive from Abingdon.

Dave Serio has been around the block and then some. He is a great guy and has an encyclopedia for a brain. You can't go wrong there. Of course you do have to navigate through Bel Air. :rolleyes:

I've never had brakes done at this shop, but they have always been honest when I've been there for tire trouble. Sorry but I don't know the name. It's the shop that sits in the triangle of Pulaski Highway, Abingdon Road and B&O Road in Abingdon.

They seems to be very affordable for tires and tire repair. They actually don't charge to fix a flat. Regardless of where you bought your tires.

Fork Auto gets all of my work. I'm not sure if he'll install your parts though. MDS user forkauto.

If you want to attempt it I will come over and walk you through it while you get it done. It's very easy man.

Famous last words. Lol

It's easy until your old rusty brake line fitting won't seal on a new copper washer against a new caliper, now you're buying new brake lines

It isn't usually the actual brake line that goes into the caliper, but a rubber hose that goes from the hard brake line to the caliper. If that gets screwed up, it can be replaced pretty easily. Ask me how I know. lol Damn F350

If the OP was closer, I would have volunteered to help him IF he has garage space to do the repair in. Too cold to be doing this stuff outside now.

Yeah, I guess you're not familiar with high quality MOPAR parts.

Pretty much every banjo fitting was rusted bad enough not to attempt an at home git-r-done repair and I just opted to replace every brake line on the truck until I stopped seeing rust.
