Breaks squeeking as I drive
My front disc brakes are starting to make that nast squeeky noise... I was wondering how much it would cost me to fix em up? Since my garage is full I cant work on it.. so Im going to have to take it to a brakes person to fix it.. How much should I be expecting for them to charge me?

It depends...if you wanna get the cheapo pads.They run like 10 15 $ for a set at your local parts store.Opt for the good ones though.Thoses arte prob like 50 $ a set of pads.I got some 40 $ ones from autozone and they have a lifetime warranty.Ive already gone through 3 free sets since then.You could prob install them yourself.
If you havent changed your shoes (Thats if you have drums in the back) in a while it would be a good idea to do those too.

Have the shop turn them flat and put a non-directional finish on
them-should cost about $30-40 if they are off they car. I would
put new pads on at this time, and my favorites are Axxis Metal
Masters (a brand I don't sell, but will buy from a competing parts
store, because they work). Don't use any kind of brake quiet spray,
just lubricate your hardware, and make sure the rotors are spotless
when you finish hanging them(use brake parts cleaner or alcohol).
I've yet to have a squeal problem when I've done as I've descibed.
