    Co-worker of mine is looking for a place in the Galleria area to get her VW Bug's brakes checked. Any suggestions for a place that will be honest and not try to take advantage of a woman?

    Thanks!

    This is not in the Galleria but not too far.... check out Kar Hospital on Ella (just off 610). Their customers seem to love them.

    [channels bigtexxx]What the hell man, find this place yourself. What, you mean your co-worker can't check her own brakes? I check mine 6 times daily, usually without a shirt so that the women will fully understand how studly I am. This ain't the yellow pages RM, TIA. brah.[/channels bigtexxx]

    don't swear at me :D

    Not in the Galleria, but in West U, which is just a few mins away:

    Demo's Automotive on Tangley/Kirby

    I agree about Just Brakes. Those dudes are criminals. Seriously. Stay away from there.

    Wish I could tell you where to go, but I made the mistake of Just Brakes

    Go to Momentum VW
    These cars are so damn sensitive. If you put a non VW coolant in it the stupid thing complains...

    Agreed, I went there before and they'll try to shake every last dime out of you.

    I take my car for anything I need to Memorial Car Care. It is at 610 and Memorial. Mike over there has always been very fair to me. I never feel overcharged or that unnecessary work was recommended.
