Watching TV last night and along came a commercial for Midas brakes offering a lifetime guarantee on pads for as long as you own your car or truck.
Well, I plan on owning my 80 for a long time, and I've already been warned how quickly it eats brakes. I've changed my own brakes on every car/truck I have ever owned, but I am curious to know if others think the "lifetime guarantee" Midas offers is worth it.
Is it possible that they inflate the hours for labor to make up the cost of the brakes? I can't see how they would ever make money on a Land Cruiser with this deal.
Here's the link to Midas' site where they talk about the guarantee on brakes:

Also found this about them on the consumer affairs website:

Seems like a lot of people have had tons of complaints about Midas.
