Default Quad repair Sherwood Park

I bought a 2005 Honda fourtrax a month ago and it needs some brake work done. Well actually it has no brakes.

Can anyone lead me to or away from the local shops as I have zero experience with these machines.

Do I stick to the dealership? Or any other options?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Brakes on Honda is fairly easy. Buy yourself a Clymer manual, think they are about $30. And save yourself a mittfull from shop rates.

Brakes on a Honda has always been a downfall.

Wow - thanks Ggeorge. I am pretty hopeless when it comes to fixing much, but this will certainly improve my chances.

Cheers.

Thanks ggeorge. I'm in the same boat as sco22. Anything with an engine, I can do the basics. But give me a drawing of a cabinet or anything made if wood, I'm your guy.
