Hi All -
My E39 requires front brake pad replacement. My local gas station owner says he has ASE certified technician and can do the job as it's a simple piece of scope and he does it all the time for other premium luxury cars (I see many luxury foreign cars in his lot).
I have never had anything done (other than tire replacement) on the car except from authorized dealership. The price diff for the brake job is literally double and the Exxon repair is guaranteeing they will use original BMW parts.
My E39 is a '98. Any opinions on whether I should go with the cheaper option given the simple enough scope of work..?
Thanks in advance..
