My girlfriend has an '02 Alero. The front pads and rotors were replaced last year and the rears, probably never. They are so shot they’re scrapping. It is urgent now…

I am looking for someone to do all four pads and rotors for me/her.

I will supply the pads and rotors, and pay you for your help of course 🙂

PM me please 😃

Thanks  
Jeff

Someone told you it’s common for all the pads to get smoked like that? Come on Danielle, you’re a car girl, you should have slapped the shit out of him for an insult like that.

Unless she tracks it I don’t see her going through a set of pads in a year unless a caliper is sticking.

aleros tend to do that. My wifes has done that twice in the last 4 years.

Also, the caliper slide pins also need to be cleaned lubed…
