Question good place to get brake work done in south San Jose or near Mountain View?

Sorry this isn't directly Z related....

So, my 2K2 Max is suffering from a bad case of brake judder, esp. when I use the brakes above 45 mph. I suspect the rotors either need to be turned or are warped.

Since I'm out of warranty, I'd rather not pay a huge amount of $ to the dealer. Can anyone suggest a good place for brake jobs like this?

I live in the Almaden Valley in SJ and work in Mountain View, so a place close to either of those or in between (near 85, 101 or 87) would be good.

How's the Wheel Works over on Winfield in south SJ? How's Midas around here?

Try Exact MotorSport in Milpitas. Talk to John or Sandy and tell them Moodie send you. John is very good and knowledgable. They are not the cheapest, but they do really good work.

Hmm, unfortunately that's even worse because that means I'm further from work and kinda need my car on weekends.

Anyone else have any places to recommend/disrecommend?

Try Rob at Z Car Garage. He specializes in Z's but I'm pretty sure he can do general work on any Nissan/Infinity. Sounds like is may just be some basic brake work so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to take care of it.
