Default Brake Jobs

Does anyone in the Southern Cali (Los Angeles area) know of a good place that does good brake jobs for the 2nd GEN IS350? I don't want to go to the stealership and get ripped off.

brakes are like the easiest thing to do... you should do it yourself and that is the best way to save money.

Check out "International Auto Repair" on the corner of Broadway and Sichel and ask for a guy named "Ralph" and tell them that "Joel" (That's me) sent you and he might be able to accomodate you.

Tommy @ Musicbox recently did a bbk upgrade for t-rex06. I am not sure if it was a one time deal or not but you may want to ask him.

Are you talking about changing pads or flushing brake fluid? Tommy can replace your pads. If you want to do a brake fluid flush, then you might want to call him and see if he can do it for you.

Just the brake pads and I found Javy's DIY on how to do it. I am going to try it myself. Doesn't look too hard but if all else fails good old Tommy can help me. Thanks everyone

If anyone needs their brakes replaced I could do it, I have been doing brake jobs for my friends and family for years.
