Anyone free this weekend? (help?)

I just got my brake pads in the mail and I want to change them this weekend.

Problem is...

Friends garage is full and I can't work there as I usually would. I figured i'd post and see if anyone close-ish would have available space and has gone through with brakes and would be willing to help out.

Appreciate it if so! mega appreciate.

Sorry I got called into work this weekend but I can help next weekend. as far as turning the rotors you my just want to get new and replace the rotors,there are real thick rotors and turning them down makes them thinner and more likey to warp and have problems down the road. people on here have been reporting good luck with napa rotors I would check there first.

You can try to turn the rotors but on mine when I turned them it only lasted about 7000 mile before they started pulsating again. I did that two times then just replaced them.
