just stay the **** away from wheel works is all i can say.
however, DIY is always an option. i have done my own motors before but i stay away from the brakes. i just let the professionals do it. seeign as that is the most important part of the car I am always willing to pay for the labor on that.

brakes are mad easy if its just standard stuff...bleeding is a messy ***** but rotors and pads are cake...and i feel you on wheel works, i had to tell those guys how to align my car! funny part is that im actually considering applying there soon...im gonna make a difference haha
Jin, Dallas' car looks $ on those cobbs and he let me rip on it last night after the install ...no noises, no probs so far. i might be down with a friday install, or if you have time saturday, Bryan is coming over to swap turbo inlets with me...we could just have a fat install day at the house...hit me

Wheelworks is crap. My mom tried taking her Previa there to get the brakes checked since they were squeaking. Gave it back to her saying they just needed to spray some brakequiet on it, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Lo and behold, the reason why the brakes were squeaking was because the inner pad was scraping metal to metal on the rotor.
