October is the best month to get your brakes replaced because you can help us put the Brakes on Breast Cancer. We will provide customers with FREE brake pads and the customer simply pays for the labor and any other parts that may be needed. We will then donate 10% of that total to research efforts to develop a Breast Cancer Vaccine.
