Neighbor Automotive Repairs 101

My neighbor helped me replace the front rotors and brake pads on my 2005 Corolla. Well, actually my neighbor did the work - he used to do this as a living years ago, I "assisted". He has ALL the tools required, including air tools. It took less than two hours - old ones off and new ones installed. The convenience alone was worth it, not to mention the cost savings. Now, there's NO more shaking and thump thump thump thump emanating from the front end when applying the brakes - SWEET!
