Squeaking brakes does not mean that you need new brakes.

Jiffy Lube for a brake job????
I will not even go there for an oil change.
I am a '60s backyard wrencher but with the great advice from our members here i was able to do a great(?) job myself.
I did it all..s/s lines, drilled-slotted rotors, speedeze bleeders, rotex pads and painted the calibers red.
It was fun.

You're cutting things a little close, this project usually requires a little prep time for selecting and ordering the pads. There are several good brands out there, most of us have been going with cearmic type due to low brake dust. Good luck.
