Does anyone have a recommendation on a good service shop in Chicago's west suburbs (Oak Brook, Naperville, Lombard, Westmont, etc.)? I need to get my brake pads replaced. I only need the OE brake pads, and I assume sensors need to be replaced too.

Thanks in advance to all.

May be a bit of a drive for ya but we've had Fisher Motorsports in Barrington service our Porsche.

About how much cheaper would it be to go through renn-art or another service shop than the dealer?? The M3 i'm planning on buying has some issues, nothing major but i want to be safe.. I need 2 Power Steering Hoses changed, a tie rod changed, and an alignment.. any clue?

Call Ben Thongsai at 708-450-0300.

For an independant atleast for me he charges (not sure what Fisher ran) but Browns Motorworks is $60/hr. Dealers usually charge around $130/hr for labor.

Edva is in villa park so close to Oak Brook, Naperville, Lombard, Westmont
