Default Brakes repair places in SoCal?

I am looking for a good place in SoCal to repair/install brakes on my '02 GS300. It's making this horrible grinding noise even when I am not braking. Is it because the rotors are warped? Appreciate any help and suggestion.

Thanks.

Where is the grinding noise coming from? You can look up for repair shops in the socal forum. Lots of recommendations there.

It's hard to tell, when I am sitting inside it appears to come from the driver front side. When I am outside with someone else driving, it appears to come from the back. Thanks for the heads up on the Socal forum.. heading over there now.

Ask for Tho and tell him Jerry with the red SC sent you

He owns a 2nd gen GS and does everything on my car from oil changes to 90k service. Many others on here can vouch for him as well.
