this is a super good idea and i'm surprised i don't see it more often. its not just service stuff either, if you get the techs to like you you'll find its muuuuuch easier to test drive the tasty stuff, get things covered under warranty, and get some sweet trade in deals.

i recently dumped the Hawk LTS pads on our Xterra for Akebono's which are supposedly a downgrade (i couldn't deal with the dust/noise of the Hawks) but they've been better performing and almost completely dust free. AND cheap. could not be happier. i hope yours turn out to work as well for you as they have for us.
