Recommendation on local shop. ABS, Slip, VCD light issue!

So I've already done a search and have found several different explanations as to why it's on. Tried topping off my brake fluid and that worked for about a day. Lights are now back on. 2005 coupe with 43000 miles. Do I need new brakes? Anyone know of a shop I can bring it too instead of the dealership? Thanks

Had that happen. sounds like you need new brakes to me. Time to change them out. If you had time, I'd recommend doing it yourself. It's not that difficult. Just a bit of work jacking up the car and taking off the wheels.

Probably need new front pads unless you've had some suspension work done lately. You can try hitting up bythabay on here or Faxon Garage in SF

Are all 3 of the lights on? If so, check the brake fuse. It might be blown

Limitless Motorsports in San Bruno.
The Shop in San Bruno.
Mach III/Faxon in SF.

I've gone to all three, and all have good prices and awesome work. They'll take care of your car.

my VDC off was on and slip was on because of the steering wheel sensor being off.
