Default help with rotors/ca;ipers

Maybe dumb question, however, here it is. Is there anyone in NE Ohio that is bored and wants to help me r and r my rotors/pads today? Never have done this and my 99 is currently on jacks waiting for new tires/wheels due in Wed..Willing to pay;just need a drive thru mechanic to come to the house. If AutoZone is open to purchase them.

not a dumb question, this is a great way to learn and meet members in your area

fwiw, the Napa rotors(Canadian) are about $100 and work well as OE replacement or track use

You mean $100 a piece? NAPA is closed today here locally. Thanks for the advice. Bendix rotors are around $55.00.
take care,

By the way my company supplies the coatings that go on all the brake rotors for the viper. We were supplying yhe coatings for the Camrys as well as many other OEM automakers in the world. I will coat the rotors with our coatings which are primarily silver and used for corrosion protection as well as appearance especially with the open wheels.

I would love to. We have a company in Norcross called Georgia Metal Coatings where we actually coat many many auto parts fasteners and stampings. I almost moved down there to start it up. I used to travel down your way a couple times a month. Love it there!!!!!
I am debating on driving it down to the Daytona 500. I usually fly, however, just may drive this year.
