Brake pad and fluid install shop recommendation(south florida)?
 

Hi Guys, I live in boynton beach and I'm doing to a track day on Saturday in homestead. I need to install my track brake pads and fluid. I'm a terrible mechanic so I need a shop that can do that for me or maybe someone here can help help me out? I've emailed a couple places, but there charging me $150, that sounds like allot... Any recommendations?
Thanks!!

$150 sounds about right actually, unfortunately. Replacing the fluid is not a pleasant job.

My recommendation is KAB Customs. He's the go to shop for FRS/BRZ in South FL. Located in Sunrise.

Actually last week he was replacing a blown motor on an FRS and the owner of the car lives in Boynton Beach.

Bah bleeding the brakes is no biggy. I think I changed the pads and fluid on @the new guy 's car in just over an hour. Special tools that make it easier are a caliper piston tool and a brake fluid bleed bottle. $150 for a couple hours of labor does sound about right at the standard $75/hr shop rate. I would look for a local track guy that might be able to help you or show you how to do it like @raul . If you are planning on doing a lot of track days it will be well worth your effort to buy the tools and do it yourself. $150 can buy you a jack, jack stands, caliper piston tool, and a nice bleed bottle no problem.

Yep, exactly what I did. $80 for a low profile jack from Harbor Freight, a $25 bleeder from Wine Country motorsports, and maybe $40 for jackstands? Have a friend help you the first time, then you'll be set. There's plenty of information, videos, tutorials and helpful people to help you do it.
