    Default Brake job....suggestions?

    My work van needs a brake job....BADLY. Any good suggestions? Usually I just take it to the nearest chain (speedy, etc).
    Bear in mind, this is a POS work truck, so I don't need high performance. I'm looking at the whole nine yards; rotors, drums, discs/pads and probably cylinders too.
    Cheap=good

    I'm in the south.

    Awesome, thanks...never thought of that. your helpfulness was most informative.
    I'm quite capable of using the "yellow pages". Was hoping a member might've had a good experience with a particular shop that had good rates/service/scheduling. But thanks for coming out. Run along little boy.

    Brake Check on 16th always treat me pretty good, deece prices, in and out right quick and you can tell them what parts you want. I don't know if there's a Brake Check far South but there's one on Glenmore, just approaching the Foothills Industrial Park I think it's 30th, next to the DQ and the LC. But IMHO it's worth the trip up to 16th.

    I'm familiar with CT quality. It's not really cheaper to do it myself. I'm swamped with work, working 7 days a week right now. To buy all the parts retail and take a day off work, it would cost me more than to get it done by a shop. Plus warranty, etc etc.

    Thanks....I'll check them out for my other vehicle. I already put the work van into a shop this afternoon.
