Various Local Install and Maintenence Questions

I have a 2006 G35 Coupe

1) I need new brake pads, where should I go to get them done. Peninsula Infiniti is charging me $500 for fronts and rear, that seems way out there.

2) Where can I replace my driver side window. It is a bit scratched up from someone (not mentioning any names) trying to get a sticker off the window with a scotch pad.

3) Where can I go for a good deal on a putting tires on my rims and getting a balance.

4) What is a good place to get my coilovers installed, that isn't an arm and leg and knows what they are doing. I have SPC camber / toe kit coming along with them for the rear.

I am usually in the Peninsula or Walnut Creek area, but I don't mind driving a bit for a good deal.

I would just buy the pads online and drop them in myself. Theres a diy here somewhere. Or you could contact this guy.. https://g35driver.com/forums/nor-cal-g/144270-norcal-installs.html .

As far as the window, I would either call around to some of the discount glass shops or order one from rancho cordova recyclers and drop it in. A few months ago I had to gut my door to fix my window motor, so I had to learn how to remove & re-install the window, track, motor..etc. I could help you install the the window.

Yeah this one place is charging me $450 to replace the window and Infiniti is charging me $290 just for the window. It's highway robbery.

I got you covered here... I got you a quote with safelite. I had them replace my front windshield and it was about $330 total (parts/labor/etc.) for that and they are mobile so they come out to your place.
