    There is Kevin down at Nun's Island. Will that work?
    What car is it for and what do you think is wrong with the calipers?

    Usually buying an exchange recon caliper is cheaper and less hassle than having your own rebuilt. Obviously for some older or uncommon car this may not be an option but in the vast majority of cases it will be possible.

    Most motor factors offer this service.
    You can either wait for your refurb caliper, buy it, fit it and bring the old knackered one back and get money back for it, or you can pick up your refurb caliper and exchange it there and then (what I did).
    Where are you located? In Limerick, Limerick Brakes is the place to go.

    No worries, no point for you going to Limerick. Most likely most motor factors are using the same handful of outfits to refurbish the calipers, so you will probably get it done by the same crowd, even if it's being sent off on the other end of the country.
