my Hyundia must use oem white box rotors they all have heavy rust like the picture.lol

Learned a lot fromthis video. Very detailed. Thanks so much!

hi, just curious what brand of brake rotors do you recommend in 2024?

Please move to Hawaii and open up More Summer less Winter Auto Repair. I'll be your first customer and will bring in many more!

Great video and appreciate great mechanics. Curious what did you use to coat the used caliper? Rust inhibitor?

Mine was rusted out just like that one. Thanks for the GREAT video!!!

presume that's an aftermarket spring (yellow?) Are the shocks and struts dead and everything was being absorbed by the springs and rest of the body?

90k on front brakes your smoking crack

u should not that purple Ceramic lube for that part only use Silicone lube for that part

I put syl-glide on 1 pin, purple goo on the other. When they came back for another set of brakes in 50,000 miles, I stopped using purple on the pins. It was always dried out compared to the syl-glide.

NEW rotors need to be cut to match the hub. This is what the factory does. And the Toyota dealership.

Its 2024 and this is by far the best brake and rotor service i have ever seen. From the high quality rotors to the sanded and painted calipers, you stand out from alot of shops. I am from upstate NY and it would definitely be worth the 7 hour drive to have you work on my vehicle.

I might have missed him saying what brand of pads he is using. But I use Akebono because that's what Scotty recommends.

Did you just say $450 for a 4 wheel disk brake full brake, replace all 4 rotor brake job, painted calipers, new hardware, purple grease? I'm in. This is a steal!!!

AKEBONO brake pad are the best. Japanese, made in USA ! I prefer brembo rotors

This video i think shows the right way to do business. thank you for the information.

Upon getting a brake job quote from Kia I had asked if the new replacement rotors were OEM, they said no. They typically just purchase rotors from AutoZone. Of course, I don't know how much better Kia's OEM rotors are compared to AutoZone's, probably not much, it was just surprising to me. Not to mention their job would have been almost $300 more than going to a local brake shop who's more concerned with using quality parts and charging a more reasonable price.

"Nobody turns brake rotors anymore..." Thats completely not true, at least in Texas as alot of people still do it. But we dont get the rust down here like yall do.

I am a woman and unfortunately I have been cheated by more than one mechanic in my life. I really liked your video, it was clear and specific. I am very grateful that you showed exactly what the equinox 2012 chassis looks like and how to locate a small leak using a smoke machine and an estimated repair cost . I changed the gas cap and now, after watching your video, I know what I should hear from the mechanic I'll go to. Thanks to you, I will be well prepared. Thank you very, very much.

Unacceptable

Purple grease 😱🤦‍♂️

2:30 diese Bremsscheibe ist aber schon sehr lange sehr tot .😁

I had a bent rotor😮

Funny, my 99 Dakota 4x4 front brakes lasted 188,000 km, the back even longer?

Plus $1000 for a brake job is daylight robbery!! Learn to do this yourself

Bullsh#t! Brakes do not vibrate once changed. You shouldn't be able to feel any vibration at all

Wow who ever did this needs shut down....as a tech I can say 100% this is not what happens in a real brake job from a real shop...

All this stems from people having no idea how to work on their vehicle. You dont have to be a master mechanic but for as much as we humans rely on cars the majority of us have no idea how they work.

O’rileys offered lifetime swaps for brake pads brought in. I have not spent no more than 140$ total in the 7 years I’ve had my car. I’ve done like 5 brake changes since.

I agree, a 1000 for brakes. People need to learn basic skills like this and save themselves some money. I change all for rotors and brakes for under 400 bucks lol

I worked at a parts store for 10 years and what i learned about shops is i dont want to take my car to most of them. 1k for a brake job from a shot is pretty ragular for price but you expect them to change pads and rotors when have a shop do it or at least turn them which most shops don't have a machine for anymore because time to do it is not worth it when can order new rotors and drums. Some people see the price shops charge and think its stupid high but a lot of shops are trying to change pads rotors calipers because it makes it easier to warranty and guarantees less issues because calipers can hang up cutting pad life or even worse having a brake stick on then add labor charge of 80 to 140 per hr. This is why dealerships charge around 2500 for brake jobs plus. Shops that do brake jobs right you are over priced but you get peace of mind. Problem really is the shops that try to sale you on that they are little cheaper so should have them do it because they look at how much the shops that change everything charge they look at what the bare minimum they can change costs them then they charge you same amount in labor if not more for a few shops seen and all that savings is in parts they didn't change. If a shop gives you a price before you bring the car in this is what you can expect either everything is new or they cut corners so bad its going to cost you shortly down the road. There are a few good shops out that will change what needs changed and give you a good deal but and warranty there work even if they didn't change a calipers and the caliper went out after because when they didn't job without change because they believe it befine so it was their call they won't complain they with get it fixed for the price of new calipers because when it left they put their judgement on it.

$1000 for break change. I do all my own work but that price seems way to high for just breaks.

Do you recommend I buy my disc brakes for my 1999 4runner at Toyota or in Autozone brand Duralast?

I've used chinese discs many times, never had an issue, kerp them clean and your slide pins greased and you're fine, problem i had was brembo discs, they rusted so bad after one year i had to change them lol

What brand are your rotors and where can I buy them?

This guy really wants the government to force people get there vehicles inspected, does he know must states do not require inspections?

I don't know where can you buy a rotor that has not been machined...This video is going way beyond realistic.

Where did the pad material that broke off go? If it broke off, it would have nowhere to go.

A honest mechanic is like a good cop very rare but do exist. Last time i got charged $1300 for a front strut job at Midas and they charged me $400 for each strut assembly and i asked why was the job so expensive. They said is was the parts used. So I checked the part number used, and each part cost $180 from Napa but they told me it was because they used a quality strut costing $400 a piece. They lied and screwed me. Unless you follow each customer home to make sure they made it home safe dont say, You treat people like family or your not willing to drive 180 miles just to make sure the job you did is still doing good.

I took my car to firestone and asked them to inspect my brakes and they said my rear brakes were 3mm. When I took out the brake pads to replace they were still thick and good. I changed them anyway but they did me dirty.

No inspection ? I would love that here in New York !!

should have recamemded some brake pads

Great honest video. Excellent. Blessings.

Usually ceramic brakes pads are used on racecars because you have to warm it up really much to have a good and safe brake. In daily cars are not the best option because it's not reach the required temperature.

Your brakes should not be getting up to any 3,000 deg. Ive used Mobil 1 red grease for 30 years and brakes are just fine.

Why is the picture in reverse?! Everything is backwards-even the scan tool!

Great video. Thank you for the explanations of the different qualities and what to look for. I was looking at NAPA's brakes for my upcoming rear replacement, so when I price them out, I will look at the build quality before purchasing. I will do you one higher though, I have a 99 Silverado with 360,000 miles. The front brake rotors are original and the pads have only been changed once. Grant it, I realize that that's because Chevy's front to back brake ratio drastically favors the back brakes, but its still super impressive. Getting ready to do only the 4th set of back brakes on my truck. Up until this change, we've only used ACDelco OEM brake parts (which are now extremely rare to find). But even still, my back brakes are lasting an average of 120,000 miles. Extremely impressive quality. Thanks again!

There is a 8 hour reset if you don’t have the reader

Inspection only tells you the condition of your car on that day! It cannot tell you if a brake pad will fail next week! That goes for most items inspected. You definitely need to maintain your car but big brother is much too involved in our lives. Congratulations for ending the safety Inspection.

So what brand are the rotors?
