Unhappy HELP!!! Need good mechanic in Orlando ASAP!

Hey guys,
I need a good mechanic who knows what they are doing ASAP. I have
a situation with my brakes on the LS. It was not stopping as good as
it should be, so I took it to one of those brake stores to get new brakes.
I expected to only get new pads, as soon as they opened the car up,
they tried to stick me with a complete rebuild of the brakes totalling
$1,400. I knew they were just trying to take advantage of a college student
so I told them to put it back together, so I could leave. I did get new brakes
from another place where they did not try to "screw" me. The weird thing
is there is some serious pulsating, and pulling to the right when
I use the brakes. The place that replaced the brakes could not find the
problem, but we came to the conclusion the original place must have done
something to cause this. If anyone knows of a good mechanic in the orlando
or even tampa area that could help me out, please let me know.

Thank you!

Try calling Larry or Adam at Autotuner, they could probably point you in the right direction.
