    Hey guys! Looking to get my brakes done (new pads, rotors, ss lines) and need some suggestions...
    Unfortunately don't have the time or tools to DIY
    Need a good shop that can install Saturdays and won't rape my girl on a "test" drive lol

    Thanks!

    There is a guy in Parker that does work on the side, he's a VW tech. really cool guy and his prices are great. Installed me SC pulley for $130, just to give you an idea. He works mainly on weekends, so if you're cool with going to Parker shoot me a PM for his info.

    Berg Performance is mine and many others shop of choice for a hundred reasons.
    They are closed on Saturday, but given the quality of the work from there and reasonable prices I wouldn't let that stop you.

    Bluewater is also good.

    I hear Hardys a lot. I go to Troy at Apikol if I can't do the work, but that's in Boulder. Desmato Mechanics is a small garage that does quality work. Whatever you do, stay the hell away from 3zero3. You'll get your car back missing parts and your pockets empty.

    Saturday is a dealbreaker for me. Gabe installed my SSK so I was going to holler his way as well. Thanks

    Just wanted to shout out to Marcel at Hardeys Motorwerks, he went above and beyond to get me installed Sat, even helped buff out a parking lot scratch and coding out my Ecodes for a REASONABLE price. Hit him up if you need Audi/VW work done, and thanks Yousef for the recommendation!

    They've been quiet as a mouse so far. I really enjoyed the Akebonos on my B6 S4

    Glad it worked out. I'm always looking for guys like him, as I don't have the drive to work on my stuff anymore. He'll be having the S4 again this weekend for AWE exhaust and a hitch install.

    Hardey's is great, shame he's not open on weekends. I've had a good experience with 3Zero3, not sure what everyone is complaining about.

    Marcel does great work for a great price. And yes that AWE exhaust sounds awesome on your S4

    Yes he does. I think he'll have my car again this week to do some logs, and more work in the next few weeks.

    I'm still trying to get used to the exhaust. It calmed down a bit, the first two days I would hear interior rattles and the farts were insanely loud. Now it's much better, and I actually enjoy driving the car in D, where before I was always in S.
