Default Reputable brake shop in nyc/long island

i need to get my rotors and pads changed asap! the mechanic i was going to go to was going to use some brand called winhere for the rotors. i can't find any info on them which makes me nervous. i asked him if i could buy the rotors and pads and have him install it and he said he won't do that so now i'm screwed . can anyone help me out?? my brakes are almost shot.

yeah i was gonna get centric premium rotors and akebono pro-act pads from tirerack so what type of rotors and pads isn't the problem, it's where to get them installed. i wouldn't mind doing it myself but there aren't any DIYs for taking off the GS300's rotors or rear brakes.

My boy did my rotors here in Rockland. He is really a civic guy n has rebuilt motors n installed complicated turbos. He did my oem gs350 4 piston calipers n awd rotors last week n everything is great. I can ask him for u if u want. He is a real handy man n will be a lot cheaper than a shop. How much did the shop want to charge?
