85K Miles on Original Brakes
I'm coming up on my 85K service and am pretty sure they're going to recommend new brakes. It's true...I have 85k miles on all of the original brakes. I also just passed inspection and my brake sensor light has never come on.
Anyway, I want some advice on getting them replaced. Should I buy the parts myself (if so, from where? I'm in PA) and have an independent shop do it? Or just have my Audi dealership do it (which I know will be a lot more $$). What do you all do/recommend?
Thanks!

I perform DIY brake service on all of my vehicles. I usually purchase rotors and pads from www.autohauseaz.com for my Audis. If you use an inde shop, check with the shop to see if they will install new parts that you purchase and give to them for installation. Some shops will not use customer-supplied parts.
