1. Have Jedi keep clearing the code for you only to have it return within hours or a few days

2. go to another shop and have them 'fix' the issue numerous times, only to have the CEL return.

3. ignore it.

4. Go to NeptuneSpeed and get it properly fixed.

It really depends on what is causing the CEL.
If it's a small evap leak and it's only a bad gas cap then well...that can probably wait.
Brakes are a high priority item since it's a safety issue.

you need an AccessPORT so you can just turn off that CEL for good.

Yeah the dealership will try and screw you for a brake job. Autozone pads will do if you are really in a pinch but lots of guys are running better brake pads like Hawk Ceramic, Hawk HP+ or others someone can help me out here. At least get OEM pads

what is a full brake job include? is it pads and rotor replacement? or
brake rotor resurface? front and rears?

I wouldn't really recommend Autozone pads unless you're on a tight budget. I'm running Hawk Ceramic pads and they're great.

if you have never had the brakes done then your rotors really need to be surfaced
some auto parts stores will turn your rotors for a small fee. your brakes will vibrate
with uneven rotors.

if your going to do it yourself make sure you borrow or buy the tool
for the rear calipers.
