I just finished replacing the rear brakes on my 2008 Saturn Astra. Listen, I love and appreciate high quality, honest mechanics like anyone else, but I'm so happy not to have to pay a couple hundred dollars to get this job done. I got the brake pads from Napa online for under $30. A c-clamp at Ace Hardware for under $20. I'm not positive how much a mechanic would've charged me for parts and labor, but I'm guess I saved well over $100.

Oh yeah!
