Default Help in Dayton, OH

Anybody know where I can just show up with my own new brake rotors and pads and get them installed while I wait anywhere near Dayton OHIO? Thanks, Mike

Or show respect and call for an appointment?
Hopefully most decent shops are​​​​​​ too busy for drop ins. That's a good sign. Might sound snide, but ...

Really? DUH! The whole point of my question was to find out if anyone knew a decent place i could have it done without an appt. i know its better to make one but i'm a truck driver who's home 3 days a month and I never know exactly when it'll be. So save ur smartass remarks if you cant help..

Many (most?) shops don't want to install supplied parts at all, never mind having your own parts and dropping in expecting service on the spot. The smiley face showed I was playing with you a bit, but really... smile, and have a nice day.
Hope you can work it out to get more days off and enjoy life a bit.
