Default Brake Install in Los Angeles?

Hey everyone,

I read that a lot of you are getting your pads from Steve at Carson Toyota. I need my rear pads immediately so I plan on picking some up there...I think everyone says that they go for about $50 for a pair right?

Also, does anyone know a place in the Los Angeles area that can install them for me for a reasonable price? Of course, trying to not pay some outrageous price!

Thanks everyone for you help!

Which is a BIG deal considering you live 400 miles away in NorCal !

By the time you get back home , you'll need new pads again !

first of all a damn wash for the wheels

btw, neo, when you come back, make sure you drop off your wife and kids and then go around the block to cool down the brakes first, otherwise the tremendous heat over the 400 miles trip isn't good for a brand new brakes and rotors

oh and yeah, 400 mile trip and he's picking up stuff for a lot of us
