Hi, I posted this in the Wheel Tire & Brake forum and got no replies....

Any recommendations on good indy shops in SF Bay Area (close to SF preferably) that can do the front brakes on a 209?

TIA for any input.

That car is very very easy 2 do
If u have time I can take u step by step in how 2 do it if u want 2 save some cash

 

Thank you very much for the offer - under normal circumstances I would do that. But I am short on time....

 

mach iii motorsports. they are a good company.

did you consider going to a dealer?

 

Don't know anyplace in the City, but Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View would hook you up, or Marin Autoworks in Mill valley < That's where I take my car.

 

Im interested, have to do mine and want to replace all 4 pads and rotors, but have an issue paying the dealer the rediculous money they want to do it. Ping me if you can help. Thx

 

I'm going to try Collie Autoworks in San Rafael. Their prices as quoted are better than the dealer, and I am going to get the trans serviced as well (drain/replace fluid, new filter+pan gasket). I will update everyone on how it goes.

Thanks for all of the help here...

 

The experience went well with Collie Autoworks - brakes are great and the trans service was beneficial. They answered a ton of questions about other services that I will need done as the miles pile on my 209.

I've gotta figure out who will do the springs/shocks when I get around to it, as that looks like some spendy labor. Labor quote for the spark plugs was a lot - but figure I can do those myself even if there are 12 of 'em! Anyone change their own plugs on a V6? Seems pretty straightforward, if tedious.

Thanks again to everyone for all of their tips and suggestions.
