Anyone know a good Mechanic (brakes) in GTA?
My TL is giving me some sort of problem with the rotors/brakes.
When I drive fast and push the brakes, my brake pedal and steering wheel shake.
When I drive slow and press the brakes, I sometimes get a squeaking sound.
I have slotted front rotors with EP300 pads(from Heeltoe) in the front, which I put on like 3 years ago. The pads are still in good shape.
I was told these rotors I have don't easily warp, so it should be something.
- maybe a wheel speed sensor
This is my second set of rotors for this car since I got it, I don't see how it can keep warping withing 2-3years of driving. The OEM ones were warped according to the dealer and that's why I got these Racingbrake ones from Heeltoe.
I'm looking for a good shop that will actually take a look at these and figure out whats wrong with it, instead of just saying change the rotors and pads.
Any suggestions/referrals?

brakes are a staple job for any shop. When you feel it in the steering wheel it's usually warped rotors.

Also get a brake fluid flush done as well (suck exisitng brake fluid out using turkey baster, put new fluid in and then bleed the brake lines)
But you may have to replace the rotors as well as the damage is already done to it (I find OEM rotors the best and I've tried a lot of brands).

Your breaks will feel much more responsive and the pedal feel will be greatly improved.
Check out SpeedStar for your needs.
Either Elliott or Frank will be able to help you out for sure.
They put my current ASPEC pads in alongside a flush at the same time and I couldn't be happier with the pads and their work.
Hope to see you at the meet!
