    Question Auto shops in the area

    So, now that I've moved to Westminster, I'm gonna need some recommendations on good shops to get my car and my daughter's car worked on.

    My daughter's car is a 92 Nissan Sentra and needs some attention, so if anyone out there can recommend a good mechanic and shop we can take her car to, please post up.

    Thanks

    Does anyone on this forum do car repair?
    I just paid $700 for new rotors. There has to be a better way.

    Usually rotors are like $30-60 each. So your parts cost $120-240 the rest was labor that took them about an hour or less to do..sorry...

    It was much more that that at the Lexus dealer, so I took it somewhere cheaper. Did I get ripped?

    That's pretty pricey for 4 rotors. But depending on how they are attached, you might have been able to do it yourself. I'd say 30 minutes a piece at a mechanic. I just replaced the front rotors on my truck about 2 months ago, and the rotors (brembos) were $100, and the labor was $65.

    Yep, as long as it's still the same as a coupla years ago. I am taking it to that shop that Jeff mentioned tomorrow to have a complete once-over and will pay for that, but will give you a call if you think you could do the work for less. I have a feeling there's gonna be at least one big-ticket item.

    Will let you know.
