In need of rear brakes

I'm looking for a recommended location in the Bronx,lower Westchester County or Queens for a rear brake & most likely front brake install for a 2006 325xi,4 dr sedan, completely stock.
Thanks in advance.

Recommended brakes pads?

Can anyone recommend which brakes pads , I drive my car on weekends and on my days off, don't drive it hard.
I am not mechanically inclined to do it myself, so any recommended shops by members would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you only need pads, and drive it gently, I highly recommend cool carbon pads, as they have probably 95% less brake dust than the oem pads, and are nearly identical in stopping power
And sorry I have no recommendations for shops in your area, as I do mine myself, but if you look up a diy, it is one of the easier jobs to do on our cars.
Otherwise, Im sure someone will chime in on a recommended shop in the city.

i put on akebono euro ceramics, they are pretty cheap and stop like oem. low brake dust too. I need to get a set for my fronts, because the rear rims look brand new, but the front turns black instantly from braking. you can find them for cheap on amazon.

Thanks, I don't think I need rotors, just the rear brakes, maybe front too, for a 06, 325xi, 4 dr sdn, complete stock.Let me know how much you will charge for the install of rear brakes & the sensors , and if you are able to reset the brake service light too.
Which brakes would you recommend, I heard Akebono were really good, the ceramic ones?
Send me a PM,thanks.

Question

When I get my brakes done, should the rotors also be changed for a stock 2006 325 xi, 4 dr sdn? If so, which brand/type of rotors are recommended?
Thanks again.
