I'm in Western NY and my younger brother lives in San Francisco.  Anyone have info on a brake shop that would do an inspection on his ford cheap or free.  He wants me to head out that way and replace the pads for him but to be honest he has no clue on what could be wrong with the brakes.  I was heading out there next month anyway so I'd only be getting there sooner not forking over the cash for the trip just to do the brakes.  He does not have anywhere to do a larger job than just a simple pad change nor does he have the tools so I'll be bringing my own. I'd hate to get out there and find out there is a major problem.
